The Tale of Pyttipanna
Story updated
Pyttipanna, a hash of diced meat, potato, and onion, developed as a Swedish way to use leftovers from previous meals, especially roasted meat. Documented in Swedish home cooking since at least the 19th century, its name literally translates to 'small pieces in a pan.'
