Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C.
  2. Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Season then whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a 21cm ovenproof frying pan, heat the butter over a medium heat. Leave to simmer swirling the pan until the butter starts to turn pale golden and you see small brown flecks of butter in the pan.
  4. Add the sliced potatoes and shallot and cook gently for about 20 minutes, stirring every now and again, until the potatoes are just tender and the shallots are caramelised. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over making sure it's evenly spread.
  6. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until just set. Leave to rest for 5 minutes before turning out onto a large plate or board. Cut into 6-8 slices.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and sherry vinegar. Toss with the watercress, chicory and walnuts until evenly coated.
  8. Grate the Manchego over the tortilla and the pile the dressed salad generously on top. Slice into portions and serve.
