scalloped potatoes with scrambled egg

Oh, dear, this is bringing back unpleasant foody memories for me. I lived with my old Gran for a year when I was 17. She was hardcore OS, but not known for her cooking skills. She had a garden full of cabbages and potatoes and nearly every meal was accompanied by mash and cabbage. My least favourite was poached egg, mash and cabbage, which we had once a week. Not a pleasant combination. However she lived to a ripe old age on this simple food, and baked her own bread until she was 88.

Tortilla - the "spanish" omelette served cold as tapas.

Delia's Recipe

Another recipe but there seems to be little difference, if any, between them.

Delicious with a salad - but I have to add a dollop of Tommy K to mine

Another vote here for Delia's tortilla.
Just eggs, potatoes and onions, but one of the nicest things you'll ever eat.

I used to live in Germany and a friend used to make Reibekuchen which were delicious. This is the recipe:
1.5 kg potatoes,1 big onion, 2 eggs, 1 tsp salt a bit flour
or oat flakes, half tsp salt, Oil.
Coarsely grate the potatoes over a sieve, so that the water can drain off. After grating dry the grated potatoes as well as you can. Don't, under any circumstances blitz the raw spuds in a food processor as they go all gluey.

Grate the onions and mix them with the potatoes, and add the eggs and salt.

Depending on how wet the dough is, put some flour or oat flakes to
it, so that you get a not too solid dough.

Put oil into a pan and when it is really hot, take spoonfuls and flatten into little cakes.

They have to be "golden" from both sides (you have to turm them after
awhile) - the border of that pancake has to be really crisp.

Eat them hot on a slice of well buttered bread or, as I had them, with sweet applesauce on. They were lovely.

What about Omelette and chips (not spanish omelette - normal folded egg ones....) or if you have flour etc to make pastry plus some cheese onions etc Quiche and chips?

egg curry

Another vote for potato & egg curry.

My husband makes it and its delicious.

Instead of just adding boiled eggs though he does what his pakistani grandma taught him to do.

He hard boils the eggs, takes the shells off and then frys them whole in some oil. Its one of those weird but delicous things.. the outside of the egg gets a really odd crispy skin that is delicious. Especially once the whole egg has been added to the potato curry.

mmmmmmmm

I like to make a curry sauce and then put in already cooked scrambled egg. It works really well.

Scrambled egg also goes well into a mix of vegetables. The proper recipe is called Piperade and is onions, green and red peppers, garlic and chopped fresh tomatoes. Cook the veg together and then put the beaten eggs over the veg and scramble it together. I prefer to add the eggs scrambled, but it is personal taste.
