Submitted by evelynathens

"A very simple, pantry recipe to use up leftover meat. The Swedes eat this with pickled beetroot alongside, but I prefer it without."

• 6 large potatoes
• 10 ounces chopped bacon, sausage, beef, pork (use what's leftover, in the fridge)

• 1 -2 egg, per person fried as per your liking
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

directions

1. Peel and dice the potatoes. Dice the meat.

I didn't know I was making this Swedish dish! I thought it was the all American throw the leftovers in a pan for breakfast.?? Americans always use potato, egg, meat. I like to use scallions or peppers for color and grated cheese.
