Ultimate Ham Egg & Chips
Recipe Details
Ingredients
- 1x The Jolly Hog British Outdoor Bred Black Treacle Gammon or 1 pack of The Jolly Hog Black Treacle Ham
- 6 large waxy potatoes
- 4 eggs (we recommend St Ewe)
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- Garden peas or other vegetable of your choice
Method
- Cook our Black Treacle Gammon according to pack instructions.
- Peel the potatoes, then cut them into 2-3cm strips to make chunky chips
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, add the potatoes and cook for 6 minutes – until they are just soft enough to poke with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake to fluff up the edges.
- When the gammon is cooked, remove from the tray and cover with foil – leave it to rest so that it stays juicy.
- Add two tablespoons of oil to a baking tray and add to an oven heated to 200-220 degrees. Leave the tray to heat in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the oil is hot. Remove the tray from the oven, carefully add the chips, toss them in the hot oil and season with sea salt.
- Cook for 30-40 minutes in the oven, until the chips are golden brown.
- Just before the chips are cooked, heat the butter in a non stick frying pan until melted.
- Crack each of the eggs into the butter, ensuring they are spaced apart. Fry for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are cooked and the yolks are slightly set
- Slice the Black Treacle Gammon (or serve up a few slices of ham per person) and serve with the chips, egg and a portion of peas.
