Pytt i panna, also pytt i panne (Norwegian), pyttipannu (Finnish), is a culinary dish consisting of chopped meat, potatoes, and onions fried, similar to a hash.
The term is Swedish for "small pieces in pan".
It is a popular dish in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark, where it bears the name biksemad, literally meaning "mixed food".
Traditionally consisting of potatoes, onions, and any kind of chopped or minced meat such as sausage, ham or meatballs, diced and then pan fried, it is often served with a fried egg, pickled beetroot slices, sour pickled gherkin slices, capers and sometimes ketchup or brown sauce.
The dish was originally made from leftovers of past meals but now it is far more common to prepare pytt i panna from prime ingredients.
Frozen pytt i panna of many varieties can be bought in almost every Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish supermarket.
Many variants of the dish exist, including vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Pytt i panna is often abbreviated to pytt, especially when referring to variants such as oxpytt (pytt i panna made with beef) or krögarpytt ("inn master's pytt", made with more finely diced potatoes and beef).
