Pyttipanna
A traditional Swedish hash made from crispy potatoes, onions, and diced proteins, finished with a sunny side up egg.
Why This Works
The contrast between the crispy, golden potato exteriors and the soft, savory sausage creates a satisfying, textural experience.
The Upgrade
Serve with a side of pickled beets to provide a sharp, vinegary counterpoint to the richness of the fried eggs.
Chef's Secret
Michelin TechniqueEnsuring the potatoes and onions are cut into uniform small dice is crucial for even cooking and textural harmony.
Ingredients
Total time including resting: 35 min
Directions
Par-boil potato cubes for 5 minutes until just tender but not falling apart.
5 minHeat butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to foam and turn golden brown.
2 minAdd potatoes to the skillet, spreading into an even layer, and cook undisturbed for 6 minutes to achieve a golden-brown crust.
6 minToss in the onions and sausage, sautéing for 8 minutes until everything is uniformly crispy and the onions have caramelized.
8 minSeason generously with salt and pepper to highlight the starchiness of the potato.
1 minPush the mixture to the edges of the pan and crack the eggs into the center to fry until the whites are set, 4 minutes.
4 minGarnish with fresh parsley and serve directly from the pan for that authentic rustic appeal.

Gamay’s bright, crunchy red fruit and gentle tannins provide a playful contrast to the heavy, savory nature of the potatoes and egg. It’s light enough not to feel heavy after the starchy dish.

Sides the kitchen recommends alongside this dish.
Side Dish
Pickled Beets
The earthiness and sharp acidity of pickled beets provide a vibrant color and flavor contrast to the salty, pan-fried potato hash.
Ingredients
Directions
Slice the pre-cooked beets into uniform 1/4-inch rounds or wedges.
In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns, and thyme.
Bring the brine to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar and salt fully dissolve.
Add the beet slices to the pan and cook for 2 minutes to warm through and infuse.
Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a non-reactive container.
Allow the beets to macerate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving alongside the pyttipanna.
Side Dish
Fresh Chives and Sour Cream
A dollop of cold sour cream and a sprinkle of chives add a cooling, creamy finish to the hearty, savory hash.
Ingredients
Directions
Chill a small glass serving bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes to ensure the cream remains cool.
In a chilled mixing bowl, gently fold the sour cream with the lemon zest, half of the minced chives, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the mixture to the chilled serving bowl, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon.
Garnish the top generously with the remaining fresh chives.
Serve immediately alongside the hot Pyttipanna to provide a sharp, cooling contrast.
