This dish could be served as a brunch dish, or for any light meal or snack. when i came across this recipe tonight in a recipe book - the midweek cookbook: 200 ways with potatoes - i really hadn't looked at since the seventies, the name of this dish intrigued me. a web search produced nothing of relevance, just lots of references to dog breeding kennels! So unfortunately i know nothing of the origins of recipe's name. i'm posting a c21st adaptation here so that i remember to make it some time! it's actually rather similar to what i've always referred to as a chip omelette, although i usually make that with diced raw potatoes.
