The original recipe:
Ingredients:

2 Tbsp oil (plus extra for brushing)
4 Large waxy potatoes, sliced
Topping:
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Leek chopped
1 Red pepper diced
1 Green pepper diced
1 Carrot grated
2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
8 oz full fat soft cheese
4 Tbsp grated mature cheese
2 eggs beaten
Preparation:
- Brush an 8 inch springform with oil- For the base heat the oil in a frying pan cook the potato slices until softened and browned. Layer in the bottom of the springform
- For the topping heat the oil in a frying pan add the leeks and cook until softened ~ 3-4 minutes. Add the carrot, peppers and parsley cook until soft ~ 5-7 minutes.
- Beat the eggs and cheese together in a bowl add the cooked vegetable mixture and season with some salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture over the potato layer and cook at 375 for 20-25 minutes until the cake has set.
My not so original version:
I removed the whole bottom layer of potatoes because I don't like the taste of fried potatoes. I took out the peppers and added other vegetables like beets and celery and onions because in my eyes they add more flavour to the dish. I also took out the soft cheese just because it isn't something i generally have on hand and replaced it with old white cheddar in my opinion it ends up being the same a bit dryer but that's ok. I also added chilli flakes and hot sauce and some other spices that I can't remember right now. In my eyes this dish is all about your own personal taste buds so whatever tickles your fancy just experiment and make this your own
