Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Heat the oil and butter in an ovenproof sauté pan (about 20cm), swirling to coat the base.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, onion, garlic, ham, cayenne and parsley; season with 1 tsp salt and some freshly ground pepper. Spoon over the base of the sauté pan and press down to make an even layer.
  3. Cook over a medium-low heat for 20 minutes until the base is golden and the potato is almost cooked through. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes until the top is golden and the potato is tender. Spoon onto plates and top each portion with a poached egg if you like.
