Method
Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry. Slice half the chilli into strips and set aside; finely chop the other half. 

Heat the rapeseed oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the potatoes for about 10–15 minutes until golden. Add the chopped chilli, garlic, Cajun seasoning, sweetcorn and black beans and heat through for about 5 minutes; season to taste.  With a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep warm while you poach the eggs. 

Divide the potatoes between two bowls and top each one with a poached egg, some chopped avocado and the sliced chilli. Serve with the lime wedges.
