I made this last for myself and 3 kids, it wasn't enough! Could of done with double the potato at least. I used leeks instead of onions as they needed using up, and chopped up leftover gammon. It was delicious, we had eggs too, there was not potatoes that's all.

I added the suggested fried egg to this, and used red onion. I also had it with cabbage and peas. Delicious!! I'll definitely be using this recipe again on cold nights.
