Pan Fried Prinskorv

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

• 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.

Cook and mix for six to eight minutes — or until the ends are sticking out. 

Transfer your pan of fried prinskorv to serving plates and garnish with some fresh parsley, if preferred.

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.
