Quartered the ingredients as it was just for me and that seemed to help the cooking times although I did par-boil the potatoes having read the earlier comments. V tasty.

Really tasty. Again needed slightly longer for the eggs and parboiled the potatoes first, but very easy and versatile. I will definitely be making this again!

Despite the slightly sexist description, this mum loved it too! I used a large baking potato, diced it small and it cooked fine with no pre-boiling. However, the eggs took at least ten minutes to cook. After four minutes, they were still completely raw and, as I was in a hurry, I turned my fan oven up as far as it would go. Even after cooking for ten minutes, my egg white wasn't completely solid. We all enjoyed it and I would definitely do it again, but will allow much more time for the eggs next time.

Took advice from other comments and parboiled potatoes and it turned out nicely! Very cheap to make and not too unhealthy so I can see it becoming a favourite in our house! The only thing I found was that the shallots were slightly frazzled by the time everything was baked so will probably add them in later on next time!

Actually really enjoyed this, but agree with others for the timing! I parboiled my potatoes and still the probably took a good 45 minutes in the oven... I also needed longer for my eggs.. they were still translucent after 3-4 minutes, think I gave mine 6-7. But was a nice change for tea and good for veggies!

This tasted nice don't get me wrong, but the timings were all off. Even though I par-boiled the potatoes before putting them in they took an extra fifteen minutes. The eggs took closer to fifteen minutes as well. Word of advice if you're thinking about making this, add 30-40 minutes onto the cooking time so you know what you're working with. I also added a little paprika to the potatoes :).

Added some smokey bacon lardons and plenty of black pepper. Oh Mamma...

Did not enjoy this. The eggs took far long to cook than stated, I found the oregano a bit too much ( and I put less in than stated) and the potatoes were only just cooked - wish I'd trusted my gut and parboiled them first. Oh well can't win them all!!

Ditto!! My potatoes took about 40 minutes instead and still weren't done how I like them. Definitely wish I had boiled them for a bit too. Would definitely recommend boiling first to anyone wanting to do this.
