Pytt i Panna, Step by Step

Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Heat half the butter and the oil in a large pan. Fry the potatoes in 2 batches for 8 minutes each without stirring for the first 4, until crisp. Lift out.

  2. Fry the onion and meat in the remaining butter for 5 minutes.

  3. Return the potatoes, add the thyme, salt and pepper and fry for 3 minutes.

  4. Fry the eggs in a separate pan.

  5. Serve the hash topped with the eggs and with the beetroot on the side.

Small Things That Help

  • Dice everything the same size.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches.
  • Serve with pickled beetroot.

If You're Missing Something

  • Fresh herbs work in place of the dried thyme at roughly three times the quantity — a teaspoon of dried is about a tablespoon of fresh, chopped.
