Servings: 4

Ingredients

Potatoes
4 cups, diced
Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons
Bacon
4 slices, chopped
Beef or pork sausage
2 links, sliced
Onion
1 medium, diced
Frozen peas
1 cup
Eggs
4, for frying
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the butter in the bacon fat over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the diced onion and sliced sausage to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and the sausage is browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the frozen peas and the cooked bacon. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.
  5. While the pyttipanna is cooking, in a separate skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.).
  6. Serve the pyttipanna hot, garnished with a fried egg on each portion.
