Eggs in a Nest

This is a lean times meal. My children and I have been at times through very lean times, and this is what I often served up when the cupboard was almost bare.

Take 4 (or however many you need to feed your family) large, older potatoes. Wash them well but do not remove skins. Place them on a baking tray in the oven and cook till almost soft. Remove potatoes, when cool enough to handle, scoop some of the inside out to make a hollow. In each potato, break one egg (minus shell of course!) return to oven and cook till eggs have set.

This makes a nourishing meal, eggs are little protein packages, potatoes are good too. This meal is enjoyable even when your times aren't particularly lean!
