Method

  • step 1

    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and boil for 5 mins until just tender. Drain well and leave in the colander to steam-dry.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, spray an ovenproof pan with cooking spray. Add the leeks with a splash of water and fry until very soft and squishy. Add a few more sprays of the oil, tip in the potatoes along with the ham, and fry to crisp up a little. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

  • step 3

    Stir in the mustard, 1 egg and a good amount of seasoning with a fork – break up some of the potatoes roughly as you do. Flatten down the mixture, spray the top with oil, and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until the top is crisp.

  • step 4

    When the hash is nearly ready, heat 200ml water in a non-stick frying pan with a lid (or use a baking sheet as a lid). When it is steaming (but before it simmers), crack in the remaining 4 eggs and cover with a lid. Cook for 2-4 mins until the eggs are done to your liking. Meanwhile, heat the beans.

  • step 5

    Lift an egg onto each plate, add a big scoop of hash and spoon on some beans.

This is such a simple dish but oh so nice. I used bacon instead of ham, also dijon mustard instead of wholegrain as it was what I had in the cupboard.

Delicious! Like the other person, added a large clove of garlic and then topped with gruyere cheese before baking. Swapped low call spray for butter, followed by butter and butter. Also swapped fried egg for poached, because they're infinitely better imo.

Makes a great change from corned beef hash and, much less fat

Very tasty. I left out the mustard and added grated cheddar.

Very nice, I threw in 3/4 tin of baby spinach
