How To Make madeiran potatoes with egg and cheese
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350F.
-
Step 2In a pot, boil the potatoes in salted water until for tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
-
Step 3In a small bowl, combine just the egg yolk with 1/2 cup of the milk, mashing them into a "sauce".
-
Step 4Chop the egg whites and reserve.
-
Step 5Mix remaining milk, butter, onion, salt, pepper and hot sauce in a large bowl. Add the egg yolk mixture and the cooked potatoes to the bowl and turn to coat. Transfer to an oven-proof baking dish (lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray). Top with the cheese.

Step 6Bake in oven just long enough to turn golden on top. Serve with garnish of finely chopped parsley and chopped egg white.
