Traditionally, it consists of potatoes, onions, and any kind/s of meat and/or sausage, diced and then pan fried, it is often served with a fried egg, pickled diced beetroot, sour pickled gherkin, and capers.

The dish was originally made from leftovers of past meals but now it is far more common to prepare pyttipanna from prime ingredients. Frozen pyttipanna of many varieties can be bought in almost every Swedish, Norwegian or Finnish supermarket. It's also a popular dish in Finland where it's called pyttipannu.
