About

This is my favourite potato dish of all time, but it is rich, and should you be rushed into hospital clutching your chest, the simple fact that you decided to cook it is my disclaimer for any cardiac distress caused.

Ingredients

1 kg potatoes (Maris Piper or King Edward)
2 teaspoons large-flaked

Method

Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes the size of board-game dice. Put the potatoes into a pan of cold water with the salt. Bring to the boil and simmer rapidly until the cubes are well cooked, but still holding their shape. Drain thoroughly.

Transfer the potatoes to an appropriately sized non-stick frying pan so that they are not too thinly spread out, but are evenly about 2.5cm h
