- Add the stems from the silver beet and cook another 4 minutes, then add the leaves and cook until wilted (2-3 minutes) Drain the potatoes and silver beet very well in a colander
- In a large heavy-based frypan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the leek or onion and cook gently for 5 minutes, now add the garlic and chilli flakes
- Add the silver beet and potatoes and cook over medium heat, stirring often, and colouring the potatoes gently as they cook
