Using Fairburn's award-winning free range eggs here really makes this dish sing

Ingredients

250g leftover roast potatoes, cut into small chunks

1 tbsp olive oil

100g pancetta cubes

Sea salt flakes

Freshly ground black pepper

Method
  1. Heat the air fryer to 190°C.
  2. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and place in a non-stick tin along with the pancetta cubes. Cook in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes until golden but not crisp.
  3. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl, season with a little salt and pepper, and stir in the cream, chilli flakes, basil, spring onions, and cheese.
  4. Reduce the air fryer temperature to 170°C.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the tin and cook in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes or until the frittata is golden and the egg is set. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
