Smashed New Potato

Ingredients

  • 400g new potatoes, halved if large
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 green peppers, seeded and cut into one long thick strip
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 spring onions, roughly chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 x 200g Jack’s cheese and chive dip

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C, fan 180C, gas mark 6 or set an air fryer ready to go.

  2. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the new potatoes and simmer for 12 minutes until tender.

  3. Meanwhile, drizzle the peppers with the olive oil, salt and black pepper and toss to combine. Place on a tray in the oven, or into the air fryer and roast for 15/8 minutes until tender and slightly coloured.

  4. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the spring onions, salt and black pepper and whisk until combined.

  5. Either line a 23cm cake tin or the base of the air fryer, with parchment until it comes about 4cm up the sides.

  6. Take the parchment out and lay onto the board. Drain the potatoes and set onto the paper. Using the side of a large flat knife, gently “squish” the potatoes until they have split but still retain a bit of shape.

  7. Place the paper and potatoes into the tin/air fryer then pour the egg , mixture over the top and tap to settle. Pace in the oven to cook for 20/15 minutes.

  8. When golden brown, set and cooked through, remove from the tin and remove the paper. Cut into wedges and serve with the roasted green peppers and a dollop of cheese and chive dip.
