Ingredients

350 g jersey royal potatoes
1 sprig mint
4 eggs
1 handful wild garlic leaves
100 g watercress
50 ml double cream
250 g ricotta drained using a sieve
1 lemon zested
120 g wensleydale or cheddar
1 pinch nutmeg
1 tbsp rose harissa
200 g plain flour
120 g cold butter cut into cubes
2 tsp vodka
1 red onion sliced
125 ml rice wine or cider vinegar
25 g sugar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp yellow mustard seeds

Steps

Simmer the sliced red onion with vinegar, sugar, salt, and mustard seeds in a small saucepan for 5 minutes, then cool.
Mix the flour, cold butter, vodka, and 2 tablespoons water into dough, chill it for 30 minutes, and heat the oven to 375 F.
Roll the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, prick the base, and bake for 15 minutes.
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12 minutes, drain them, and chop them with the mint, wild garlic, and watercress.
Whisk the eggs, cream, ricotta, lemon zest, grated cheese, nutmeg, and harissa, then fold in the potato mixture.
Fill the crust and bake at 350 F for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set and the eggs are firm, then top with pickled onions.
