Ingredients
- 1 kg (2 lb 3 oz) all-purpose potatoes, peeled and cut into 3–4 cm (1¼–1½ in) chunks
- sea salt
- 8 eggs
- 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Place the potato in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, cover the pan and remove from the heat. Set aside for 25 minutes, until the potato is tender. Drain well, then transfer to a bowl and set aside or refrigerate until needed. The potato can be prepared a day in advance.
2. Beat the eggs in a large bowl, add the parsley and season well with salt and pepper. Fold through the potato.
3. Heat the oil in a 20 cm (8 in) non-stick frying pan over high heat, swirling the pan to coat in the oil. Carefully pour the egg and potato mixture into the pan, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid or cooking foil and cook for 15–20 minutes, until set.
4. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
