It was our fresh egg for the week along with most of our ham ration, (200g was 2 slices!) because we are buying proper ham freshly sliced from the butcher rather than the pre-processed, pre-packaged stuff.
With it we had baked sliced potatoes, that look scandalously like chips! (Fries to all our American cousins.) All I did was chop up some potatoes, boil them until they are par-boiled (hard but with soft edges), drain the water, put 1 tsp or two of oil in the pan with them, give them a shake in the pan with the lid on to coat them, lay them on a baking sheet and bake them for 20 minutes on gas mark 6 or until golden brown.
Whenever you see chips on my plate, it's these - far healthier as long as you watch how much oil you use.
It was yummy. I did cheat slightly and put tomato ketchup on them rather than salad cream, but hey, I'm only human!
