Swedish Hash / Pyttipanna

Pyttipanna is a Swedish stovetop hash, usually consisting of diced potatoes, onions and some kind of meat, in this case a couple of Tofurky beer brats (yum!). This dish would traditionally be made to use up leftover food, so just about anything can go in it. I especially enjoy it with some parsnips and rutabaga.



 Chop up into tiny pieces a few potatoes, an onion and whatever else you like to throw in. Veggie bacon, tempeh or vegan sausages would all work well. Start by frying the potatoes separately, as they need a while to get cooked properly. When soft, set aside. Fry the onion until translucent, add your "meat" and other ingredients if any. Most root vegetables need to be boiled first, as they take a long time to cook. Fry for a few minutes until evenly browned, then add the cooked potatoes. Season with salt, pepper and fresh parsley. Serve with pickled beets, if you are lucky enough to find them anywhere!
