Recipe ingredients

When I worked in America, I seemed to eat quesadillas every day. I just love them! This a great breakfast or brunch recipe. The quesadillas can be prepared ahead, kept in the fridge, and finished when needed.

300g (11oz) new potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
6 fresh country pork sausages, thinly sliced
8 flour tortillas, each approx 20cm (8in) in diameter
4 spring onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/2 small red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2 hard-boiled free-range eggs, coarsely chopped
300g (11oz) Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1 Peel the potatoes and cut into 1cm (1/2in) dice. Put in a pan of lightly salted water, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.

2 Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until cooked and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

3 Add the cooked potatoes to the pan and fry, stirring regularly, until golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and leave until cool.

4 Lay 4 of the tortillas out on a flat surface. Sprinkle each evenly with all the remaining ingredients. Top with the remaining 4 tortillas and press down lightly with a plate. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

5 Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the quesadillas and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and the cheese has melted. Turn out, cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
