- Should I parboil potatoes?
- Yes. While you can fry raw, parboiled potatoes stay creamier inside and brown faster.
- What makes it authentic?
- The sides: pickled beets and a fried egg are essential!
Gluten-Free Turkey Pyttipanna (Swedish Hash)
Pyttipanna (literally 'small pieces in pan') is the genius Swedish answer to leftovers. While originally about emptying the fridge, it's now a classic. The essence is cutting everything into identical tiny cubes, so you get meat, potato, and onion in every bite. This GF version uses turkey and GF bread for a lighter but equally satisfying meal.
