Hey don't knock potato hash fried with an egg, it's lovely!
When I make it, i make a MASSIVE pan of it, as it freezes well, and great for taking to work for lunch etc.
So ,my ingredients are usually (nmow bearing in mind, i do freeze alot of it!) A whole bag of spuds, Two onions, two tins of corned beef, 4 oxo cubes and plenty of salt and pepper.
I cube the potatoes up quite small, and boil them until they're soft. Add the onions, corned beef and oxo cubes, turn it down and simmer for a good hour or so. Then I drain some of the liquid off (if still alot in it) and half mash. I quite like it lumpyish. and serve with loads of bread and butter. And picked beetroot or cabbage.
