Years ago I often used to gets those boxes of a farmhouse potato hash dishes from M&S. They were generally full of potato cubes, bits of bacon or ham, maybe mushrooms and a kind of eggy mixture all crammed into a long-life foil packet. You'd squeeze the mixture out into a pan and break it up with a wooden spoon and heat it up until it resembled some tasty brunch dish. They weren't bad but the egg was a little reconstituted. I am not sure if they're still around but this homage to an old standby was way more delicious, the fresh egg definitely helped.
The potatoes were boiled until just cooked and sliced thinly to eke out as much as possible. The cooked potatoes was added to the bacon lardons and then the egg was cracked into the middle of the pan. The smokiness pervaded through the scant potato slices and the golden yolk topped it all off. A very fine dish to use up the last of the bits in fridge before the weekend shop and then back to the indecision!
