  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 6 sausages
  • 8 eggs
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 200g grated cheddar

In a large non-stick pan, grease and cook potatoes until they are golden brown.

Turn down the heat and add the garlic. Stir thoroughly.

Sprinkle cheese over the potatoes and garlic and, once melted, stir well so that all the potatoes have an even coating.

Add the sausage pieces, stir and leave on a low heat until they are heated through.

Next, add the scrambled eggs, stir and cook through until warm.

At the last minute, add the spinach so it wilts.

Transfer to a large bowl or serve individually.
