Method

  1. 1

    Boil the waxy potatoes whole for 12 minutes until just tender, then drain, cool slightly and slice into rounds.

  2. 2

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the bacon lardons and chopped onion for 5 minutes until golden.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced potatoes and fry for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned.

  4. 4

    Whisk the eggs with the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour over the potatoes in the pan.

  5. 5

    Cook over low heat for 6-8 minutes until almost set, then finish under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes until the top is just set.

  6. 6

    Scatter over the snipped chives, cut into wedges and serve.
