The trinity of deliciousness – crispy potatoes, melted cheese and an oozy egg. What more can you possibly need on a Saturday morning? This recipe is super simple but feels so hearty!
Preparation time
30 mins
Serves
1
Ingredients
- 1 large Maris Piper or King Edward potato, coarsely grated (roughly 250g)
- 1 small onion, finely sliced
- 2 Respectful eggs
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard
- 30g mature cheddar (we like Ivy’s Reserve Vintage Cheddar), grated
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- Optional – leftover herbs, dried chilli flakes
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C.
- Place the grated potato in a clean tea towel and squeeze any extra moisture out into the sink. Tip into a mixing bowl with the onion, 1 beaten egg, flour, mustard and most of the grated cheese. Season and mix well.
- Place a small ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, pour in the oil and swirl around the pan. Spoon in the potato mix, using the back of the spoon to press down, leaving a slight dip in the middle. Fry for 8 mins, until the bottom is crisp.
- Transfer to the oven for 16-18 mins, removing after 10 mins to crack the egg in and scatter over the remaining cheese. Return to the oven until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
- Serve immediately with a twist of black pepper over the egg. Scatter with any herbs and chilli flakes.
