Such an understated recipe, but packed full of flavour and nutritious ingredients.
There's nothing worse than running out of ideas when you've still got a couple of potatoes left in a bag and tuna in the cupboard. You've done the jacket potato and the layer traybake (opens in new tab), it's time to look for something new.
This recipe is super simple and works for everyone, as there are different components you can swap in and out depending on different tastes.
If you're looking to add another hit of protein to these crushed potatoes and tuna, why not hard-boil an egg and add it gently to the top. It's a great way of getting in the maximum amount of protein (opens in new tab), while still having a dish that tastes great.

- 1tbsp oil
