Ingredients

1 potato, large

25g unsalted butter

½ onion

100g low salt corned beef

1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard

Black pepper

2 eggs

1 tablespoons of vegetable oil

40g of watercress

1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

Peel and boil a large potato. Drain and cool. Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes then melt the butter in a frying pan and sauté for 5 minutes until they start to brown.

Finely slice the onion and add to the pan, continue to cook for 3-4 minutes. Cut the corned beef into cubes and then add to the frying pan. Season with black pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the wholegrain mustard.

In a separate pan, fry the eggs in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Divide the watercress between 2 plates, add the corned beef hash and top each with a fried egg. Dressing each with a drizzle of olive oil.
