One week you have nothing to harvest and the next you have a row of potatoes and a basketful of peas! The question is, what should one do with such ingredients? Make New Potato and Pea Frittata of course. I can’t pretend this is my own recipe – I found it in this month’s Delicious magazine – but it is perfect for making use of your harvest right now. Right down to the sprig of mint!

  • 10 new potatoes
  • half an onion or a few shallots
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 courgettes

You’ll also need a sturdy frying pan

  2. Looks delicious – but our few peas always get eaten before they can make it indoors!

  6. Yum! Thanks this inspired my dinner tonight…although only the shallots and mint were grown by me. I’ll have to wait a week or two for the rest of the veggie ingredients.

  7. Looks delicious, at what point do you use 10 new potatoes?!

  8. Oops forgot to add the potatoes to the instructions – thanks for the heads up.

  9. Thank you for this recipe! We have a TON of potatoes and there are only so many roasted potatoes a person can stand.

    Our peas are just on the brink so we’ll be sure to use this recipe as soon as we can.

    I love your blog by the way! I just found it today but I’ve enjoyed clicking around.
