Method
- 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.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, season the beaten eggs and stir through the basil.
- 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.
- 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.
