Smoked Salmon & Eggs on Potato Cakes

This recipe is brilliant for that slightly indulgent brunch or lunch dish, to enjoy when you are still wanting to get plenty of nutrition in to your body, while also providing it with a treat. Ideally you would poach the eggs properly so that they have nice runny yolks, but this is something I really struggle with. So I have to make do with my version., which I make using a special egg poacher that I put in the microwave. It is really easy and straight forward to use, but the end result just doesn’t quite taste the same. If you prefer you could always boil the eggs instead. I used potato cakes this time as I fancied something a little different and they were on special offer in Tesco, but a bagel, English muffin or toast would also work.
