Ingredients

500g potatoes, roughly chopped

1 vegetable stock cube

1kg courgettes, roughly chopped

100g extra mature cheddar, grated

Method

  1. Put the potatoes in a large pan and cover them with water. Crumble in the stock cube, bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the courgettes and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the spring onions then cover and cook until the potatoes start breaking down.
