👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare your ingredients: Ensure your cold boiled potatoes and cooked meat are cut into uniform 1cm (approx. 1/2 inch) cubes. This ensures they cook evenly. Finely dice the onions.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Sauté the onions: Melt 30g (2 tablespoons) of the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat (180°C / 350°F). Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Avoid burning them.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Add potatoes and crisp them: Increase the heat to medium-high (200°C / 400°F). Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet with the onions. Spread them out in an even layer. Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to develop a nice golden-brown crust on the bottom. Then, stir and continue to cook, stirring only occasionally, for another 10-12 minutes, allowing them to crisp up and become tender.
⏱️ 15-17 minutes - 4
Incorporate the meat and remaining butter: Add the cubed meat and the remaining 30g (2 tablespoons) of butter to the skillet. Stir everything together. Continue to fry over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is heated through and everything is nicely browned and crispy, about 5-8 minutes more. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
⏱️ 5-8 minutes - 5
Fry the eggs: While the hash is finishing, heat a separate non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry them sunny-side up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
⏱️ 3-4 minutes - 6
Serve: Divide the hot Pyttipanna among four plates. Top each serving with a fried egg. Serve immediately with sliced pickled beetroot on the side. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
