What can I cook with eggs and potatoes?
A potato hash with set eggs makes a filling pan supper. Parboil firm raw potatoes first; if you want a lighter egg dish, use courgette and keep the potatoes for soup.

Practical things to check
- Cut potatoes into small, even cubes so the middle becomes tender before the outside catches. Drain and steam-dry before frying to help browning.
- Eggs cook more gently than potatoes. Get the vegetables tender first, then lower the heat and add the eggs rather than starting everything together.
- Peppers add sweetness, while a courgette needs its moisture cooked off. Cheese is optional in many egg dishes, but omitting it does not remove the egg allergen.
These are starting points rather than an allergy-safe meal plan. Check the full recipe and ingredient labels before choosing an idea for your household or guests.
