Old-School Iron

Here we go. Another recipe of somewhat traditional scandinavian food for you.

This one is called “Pyttipannu” in Finnish and “Pyttipanna” in Swedish. What it means is more or less “stuff in the frying pan”.

You will need a few boiled (cold) potatoes, a couple onions and some good quality sausage. I’m unsure as to what kinds of sausages are available internationally, but in scandinavia we have sausages that are meant to be grilled on the barbeque, like this one. That’s the kind you want, with at least 75% or more meat in it.

Chop all of it into small cubes and toss it on a hot frying pan. Season with salt (?), pepper, allspice, white pepper, paprika powder… Barbeque seasoning mix. Whatever you have, really. Fry until everythings done, which is probably something like 10-15 minutes.

Put on the plate to cool a bit.

Fry some eggs to go with it. Traditionally, it’s a sunnyside, so you can break the yolk and mix it into the rest of the food. The fried egg goes on top of the heap…

Enjoy!! Feedback welcome…
