'I have been known to throw some black pudding into this. A similar dish - Pitt i panna - is served in Sweden and comes with a fried egg on top, so take the Scandinavian route if you want to make this more substantial.'

    First class! Tried this with a friend at the weekend, substituted half the lardons with shredded ham, and added a few chunks of black pudding. We served this with a simple Tuscan bread salad. Very satisfying.

    A fantastic dish - although if you want it to be truely authentic, serve with a fried egg on top of the hash. Delicious!

    Made this a couple of times now and it's a great recipe especially if you fry a litle longer once all the ingredients are in until the potatoes go really brown and crispy. Like someone else mentioned, a fried egg on top makes it more authentic.

    had this for supper last night and like other suggestions, topped with a fried egg. Was very tasty, but having used all lardons, I would cook them off first before adding the onion to crisp up the bacon fat as had to remove them from the pan slightly sooner than I would have liked due to the onion sticking.

    I added the suggested fried egg to this, and used red onion. I also had it with cabbage and peas. Delicious!! I'll definitely be using this recipe again on cold nights.
