Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Herbs
- 500g new potatoes
- 100g frozen petits pois
- 2 tbsp chopped dill
Protein
- 200g pack smoked salmon
- 8 large eggs
Other
- 3 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Thickly slice the new potatoes and cook them in a pan of boiling salted water for about 10 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well and let them cool slightly.
- Combine Ingredients: Cut the smoked salmon into wide strips. Crack eggs into a bowl and beat lightly until foamy. Stir in the smoked salmon strips, chopped dill, frozen petits pois, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Finally, fold in the prepared potatoes.
- Cook Frittata Base: Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over fairly low heat. Carefully pour in the egg mixture and cook gently for 10 to 15 minutes until the eggs are starting to set just under the surface.
- Flip the Frittata: Place a plate slightly larger than the pan on top, invert the frittata onto it, then slide the frittata back into the pan to cook the underside for another 5 minutes until browned.
- Rest and Serve: Slide the cooked frittata onto a serving plate and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve with a fresh tomato and chive salad for a bright, complementary flavor.
Notes
- For budget-friendly cooking, use smoked salmon trimmings instead of whole slices.
- Ensure to cook the potatoes until just tender to avoid them falling apart in the frittata.
- Low heat cooking is essential to gently set the eggs without burning the bottom.
- You can substitute frozen petits pois with fresh peas if available.
