The Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4).
2
Heat the Jersey butter in the oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the Jersey Royal potatoes and spring onions and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are starting to soften and lightly brown.
3
While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the eggs, Jersey milk, dill, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
4
Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet. Distribute the watercress evenly over the top.
5
Gently arrange the smoked salmon slices over the watercress. Sprinkle the grated Cheddar Cheese (if using) evenly over the top
6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
7
Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra watercress, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For a vegetarian version, omit the smoked salmon and add more vegetables such as asparagus or spinach.

The frittata can be made ahead of time and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.

Use a good quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.

Adjust the cooking time depending on the size and thickness of your skillet.
