    We had this tonight as i'm trying to diet, but now and again have the need for comfort foods. So I didn't slip up, used very little oil, seems a far healthier way to enjoy something i'd traditionally avoided on a diet, both me and my partner loved this recipe.

    Delicious, we have this for dinner with either grilled black pudding, bacon or sausage and baked beans (for one of our 5 a day). I part boil the potatoes and use just a teaspoon of oil, the first time I cooked it I used the whole tablesppon of oil and found it too greasy.

    I made this for a brunch with some friends who stayed over. I par boiled the potatoes, added mini sausages and cherry tomatoes when I added the mushrooms and seasoned with lots of salt and black pepper (as well as the oregano). I find it really weird that the recipe doesn't call for seasoning with salt & pepper. Served it with baked beans on the side and everyone loved it.

    Easy recipe and very tasty. I tend to soft boil the potatoes as they do take longer otherwise.

    We tried this one the other night. Tasty but the potatoes took far longer than the recipe indicates. Certainly not 30 mins. The potatoes were in for almost an hour all told. I think I will be parboiling them for a few minutes first next time. Will be trying this again however as was happy with the final result. Miht also take the tip about bacon and cherry tomatoes next time too as I felt I needed bulking up abit but was reluctant to do that with more potatoes as trying to cut down on carbs!

    i'm 17 and i decided to make this for my family tonight, the potatoes took ALOT longer then the time mentioned, all together this recipe took about an hour and a half too make, but it was well worth the wait! it was soooooo tasty and warmed us all up on this cold day! will defiantly be making again!!!! although, i think next time i will cook more because, although there was enough, it didn't fill us up completely! oh, and the different tastes go together superbly, we had with baked beans!

    Excellent. Fussy kids loved it! I'd cook the eggs a little longer though. Served mine with sausages and beans.

    Gosh this was delish. We parboiled the potatoes (5 min in boiling water) first, and used diced onion instead of shallots. I liked the oregano - it added a nice touch. Wonderful cheap meal - very hearty and felt relatively low calorie, as well.

    Really enjoyed this, our first recipe tried in our healthy eating phase. We added bacon lardons (Lean) and some low fat chipolatas cut up, delicious : )

    I par-boiled the potatoes first - to cut down on the cooking time. However, it still took about 1/2 an hour for the potatoes to crisp up. I think perhaps they weren't the 'right' potatoes for doing in the oven. I'd just got a bag of 'white' potatoes from the supermarket. Back to the recipe! We were very impressed with this dish and will do it again soon. We added sone halved cherry tomatoes and these were a delicious addition to the dish.

    Delicious! Followed the comments above, par boiled the spuds, swapped mushrooms for cherry tomatoes and served with baked beans. It was the tastiest meal I've had in ages. This will be a regular in our household now!

    Delicious! Made this for my boyfriend and he loved it. We added some chorizo with the potatoes and shallots at the start which gave it a lovely flavour.

    Very healthy, but feels like a naughty treat. Try adding small slices of bacon or ham for the final 10 mins.
