Pyttipanna (Swedish), pyttipanne (Norwegian), pyttipannu (Finnish) or biksemad (Danish), is a culinary dish consisting of chopped meat, potatoes and onions fried in a pan, similar to a hash. The term is compound Swedish for "small pieces in pan",[1] but it can also be found styled as separate words: pytt i panna (Norwegian: pytt-i-panne).[2] The Danish term means "mixed food". It is a popular dish in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.

Alternative names	Biksemad, pytt i panne, pyttipanne, pyttipannu
Region or state	Nordic countries
Main ingredients	Potatoes, onions, chopped or minced meat
Ingredients generally used	Fried egg, pickled beetroot

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.[3][4] An alternative version of the dish stirs in cream after frying, much like a gravy, turning it into "cream stewed pyttipanna" (Swedish: gräddstuvad pyttipanna).[5]

The dish was originally made from leftovers of past meals[2] but now it is also common to prepare pytt i panna from prime ingredients. Frozen pyttipanna 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).
