Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the rostis and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until crisp and golden. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to a simmer. Add the white wine vinegar, then crack the 4 remaining eggs into the water, one at a time. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, then remove with a slotted spoon.

Cook's tip: any leftover cooked veg will work in this as long as you use 400g potato as the base.
