A delicious meal. From other recipes, I topped off with a fried egg cooked in the same frying pan
In the write up it doesn't say to boil the potatoes first but I'm sure they need to be boiled first?
I guess I can try it both ways and see!
Trying it for the first time tonight at home here in Australia. This is the standout favourite of mine from years ago when I lived in Kitzbuhel. Love it, so many memories, can't wait to cook it soon 🤤😁😍 Thank you for the recipe and the video 👍🏻
