    Locally known as ‘Stekt Prinskorv,’ Pan Fried Prinskorv is a dish that’s always part of Sweden’s Christmas buffet.  It doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy it all year round, though!

    These fried small sausages are perfect when you want a quick and delicious meal — but still light enough to have some space for a kanelbulle (Swedish cinnamon roll) after. 😉

    Ready in a matter of minutes, you can eat it on its own or enjoy it with some salad on the side.

    Nah, I just grab some slices of bread — and I’m a happy camper. 🙂

    Ingredients

    The only ingredients you need to prepare stekt prinskorv at home.
    • Prinskorv – mild and small Swedish sausage similar to cocktail wieners.
    • Oil – you can use olive oil or any other frying oil, but there is no need to use a lot since you only need it for sauteing/pan frying.

    Preparation

    Start preparing the prinskorv by slicing a cross on both ends of each sausage.

    Place a medium-sized or large skillet on medium-high heat, then add oil.

    Once the oil is ready, place the small sausages into the pan.

    Helpful tips

    • Keep mixing the sausages like you’re sauteing them instead of turning them one by one.
    • If you want to use less oil, cooking them in the oven is a great option.

    Recipe variation

    • Butter.  Melted butter is an excellent alternative to oil for frying small Swedish sausages.
    • Onion.  Saute some thinly sliced onions, and once they soften, add the sausages.  
    • Salt & pepper.  You can use these to season the fried prinskorv while cooking.
    • Vienna sausage.  Since prinskorv is a type of Vienna sausage, using a similar variety should be fine.
