2 small potatoes, chopped thin
100g gammon pieces, chopped
4 eggs
A handful of frozen garden peas
Salt & pepper to taste
Method
Break the eggs into a jug and whisk.
In a medium sized frying pan heat the vegetable oil and when hot add the potatoes in and fry until golden and cooked through.
Making sure the oil has coated all of the inside of the frying pan, on a medium heat add the eggs, gammon and peas to the potato and season with salt and pepper.
Stir once to evenly distribute the fillings then leave to cook until the top is still runny but the edges are cooked.
Heat a grill to a medium heat and place the frying pan under until the top is golden brown and is no longer runny.
Serve!
