The following recipe has been tested and edited by SBS Food and may differ slightly from the podcast.

Instructions

Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the sliced potato, lower heat until simmering and cook for 13-15 minutes, or until tender.

In a large frying pan, sauté the bacon over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and cooked potato slices, and fry, stirring regularly, until golden brown (10 minutes).

Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the milk, oregano, and salt and pepper. Combine well.

Adjust heat to medium-low and pour the mixture over the golden brown potato. Gently move the potato and egg mixture with a wooden spoon until the egg is cooked (2-3 minutes).

Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.
