Sometimes I yearn for something hot and cheesy, all sort of melty and dribbly. Any old mushrooms on toast won’t do. I’m after the no-compromise, flavour-packed, cheesy, melty richer-than-rich version. Yeah. Brilliant. Just make these, you’ll have no regrets.
A handy sauce to make ahead and keep in the freezer for those nights when you want to pull something together with little effort – thaw in a microwave for speed.
You can get all fancy and give the potatoes a quick toss in the pan, and with a bit of luck they’ll all end up back in the pan. Otherwise, follow the 2-second rule, or whistle in the dog.
Fried potatoes, smoked fish, herbs and flowing egg yolks equals a certain kind of deliciousness that you might think is the domain of Sunday cafés offering brunch. Nah! It’s so easy to make at home.
