Method
- Preheat the grill to high. Cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 6 minutes, or until tender.
- To make the dressing, mix together the vinegar and 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Mix the eggs, milk, cheese and mixed herbs in a bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes, or until soft. Stir in the ham and cooked potatoes and pour in the beaten eggs, making sure the other ingredients are covered. Stir the egg mixture to break it up a little as it begins to cook. Cook for 2-3 minutes over a medium heat, or until the edge of the frittata begins to set.
- Place the frittata pan under the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the egg is cooked and the top is golden.
- Toss the torn lettuce leaves with the dressing and serve alongside the cooked frittata.
