Dagen efter - Survival food after midsummer party

Best left over food ever - swedish potatoes and sausage with poached eggs! This masculine recipe is perfect for any kind of recovery. After weekend these ingredients are easy to find from fridge and revamp with small tricks. 
This is a traditional Finnish dish but comes originally from Sweden, I guess. My way to do this is the following: 



Swedish Sausage & Potatoes for 4

6-8 middle size potatoes
4-5 carrots
1-2 onions
300 gr sausage (spicy, but can be replaced with any meat basically)
Olive oil
Sea salt
Black pepper
Chives

Chop all vegetables. Fry the potatoes 5 minutes with some olive oil, add carrots after 5 min and keep frying for another 15 min. Add onion and fry few more minutes. Finally add the sausages, salt, pepper and a bit more olive oil. Taste and make sure that the potatoes are fully cooked. Add some chives and prepare the eggs. 

Poached eggs

1 litre water
0,5 dl vinegar
Eggs (one per each)

Heat up the water  "almost boiling" and add few drops of vinegar (0,5 dl of vinegar to 1 litre of water). Make a swirl to the water with a spoon. Drop the egg in the middle of the swirl, close to water. Let the egg boil 4 minutes. Lift the egg up with a spoon.  It is simple, trust me!
