Method

  1. Cook the onions in a knob of butter until really soft. Mix with the potatoes and sprouts, season well, then form into 4 rough, flat cakes. Melt a knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the cakes until golden and crusted on both sides. Keep warm in a low oven while you poach the eggs.
  2. Bring a wide, shallow pan of water to a simmer, crack in the eggs then turn down the heat and leave for 6-8 minutes until cooked. Drain well, then top each cake with a poached egg and serve.
