The kind of recipe leftover roast potatoes dream of. This is our favourite kind of cooking: no rules, no waste, big flavour. Crispy leftover roasties from Christmas (or any roast dinner), eggs, a good glug of Chimac Korean Hot Sauce and you’re halfway to something seriously satisfying. Breakfast, lunch or a "I can’t be bothered but still want something tasty” kind of dinner.
Prep the potatoes
Chop your leftover roasties into smaller, bite-sized chunks. You want rough edges, they’re flavour carriers.
Soften the veg
Heat a generous glug of olive oil in a non-stick, ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced onion or leek with a pinch of salt and cook gently until soft and sweet, about 5–7 minutes.
Warm the potatoes
Add the chopped roast potatoes to the pan and toss gently to warm through and soak up all that oniony goodness. Cook for another 4–5 minutes until everything’s hot. If you're adding any leftover ham, chuck it in the pan now to heat it up too.
Whip the eggs
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the Korean Hot Sauce and a few cracks of black pepper.
Bring it together
Pour the egg mixture over the warm potatoes. Gently shake the pan so everything settles evenly.
Cook the tortilla
Lower the heat and cook slowly for 6–8 minutes until the edges are set and the base is golden.
To flip: place a plate over the pan, turn confidently, then slide the tortilla back into the pan to cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes.
Finish & serve
Slide onto a board, rest for a minute, then slice. Serve warm or at room temp with extra Korean Hot Sauce on the side.
