Swedish meatballs with potatoes Recipe

This is the cheats method that uses store bought meatballs. You can make your own of course, in which case this recipe would be less simple and easy, but more delicious.

In Sweden there is a dish called pytt i panna, which translates into 'little pieces in the pan.'  Small cubes of meat, sausage, potato and onions are shallow fried and lightly spiced. If you travel east you will come across Kurdaak in Central Asia. Kurdaak involves larger cubes of meat, potatoes and onions, shallow fried with a good dose of fat. Whichever variation you prefer it is simple to make and really really delicious.
