Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Heat 1 tbsp oil in an ovenproof, nonstick frying pan over a high heat. Fry the potatoes for 5-6 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Season, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan, then fry the onion and courgette with a pinch of salt for 5-6 mins until softened, reducing the heat if they start to catch.
  3. Meanwhile, season the beaten eggs and stir through the basil.
  4. Return the potatoes to the pan with the flaked mackerel and paprika, stir everything together, then pour over the egg mixture. Cook over a low-medium heat for 3-4 mins until fairly set on the bottom. Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins until just set. Gently loosen the edges with a spatula, then slide onto a plate.
  5. Put the lettuce and cucumber in a bowl, season and drizzle over the remaining oil; toss together. Cut the frittata into wedges and serve with the salad and a good grinding of black pepper.
