Chop the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a bowl and cover with water to soak for around 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan forced). If possible, turn on the top element for crisping.

Drain the soaked potatoes thoroughly and dry them completely with a paper towel.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil generously into a hot pan over medium heat. Add the dried, chopped potatoes to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

Fry the potatoes on medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, cover the pan for a portion of this time to help soften them, ensuring they still get crispy.

While the potatoes are cooking, whisk the 4 eggs in a bowl. Add most of the 50g Parmesan cheese to the whisked eggs, reserving some for sprinkling at the end. Continue to whisk until well combined.

Finely chop the 4 sprigs of spring onion and the 10g chives.

Add the knob of butter, finely chopped chives, and finely chopped spring onion to the pan with the frying potatoes. Continue to fry for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring and tossing.

Turn off the heat under the pan and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the potatoes and herbs in the pan.

Transfer the pan into the preheated oven and bake for around 5 minutes, or until the top is crispy and the dish is evenly cooked.

Once finished, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the dish. Serve immediately.
