Heavenly Potato Hash
A meal to make mid-week when all I want is a bowl of comfort topped with a fried egg.
There’s nothing to dislike about this dish, its potatoes, bacon and onion and garlic with one of my favourite green vegetables cut into it.
Great to eat the day it’s cooked, and even better warmed up the next once the potatoes have sat in the juices and slurped them all up.
Heavenly!
Go on, give it a go an enjoy your sweet life!
A bowl of potato comfort food.

Tip Box
Potatoes – If the potatoes are large, cut them into small bite sized pieces.
Savoy Cabbage – If no savoy cabbage around, use fresh spinach instead. Only cook it for a couple of minutes, just until it wilts.
