Unfortunately I feel quite bloated this morning and it may be due to the cheese.
The egg goes in raw, but the heat of the potatoes cooks it. Not much riskier than a runny fried or scrambled egg. IMO anyway.
But what does the egg add to it? Flavor? Texture?
I am not afraid of raw eggs but I can't imagine the heat of the potatoes cooks the white enough so it isn't gloopy.
