Preparation
Step 1
1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool before halving or cutting into chunks.
2. Meanwhile, peel and chop the onions. Heat the butter and a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and when foaming, tip in the onions – cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until softened.
3. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes, then halve, deseed and finely chop the chili, if using. Roughly chop the watercress.
4. When the onions are ready, tip them into a bowl and add the tomatoes, lemon zest, chilli, watercress and crabmeat. Toss together.
5. Add another slug of oil to the frying pan and fry the potatoes over a high heat until golden. Tip in all the other ingredients and toss everything together over the heat until hot and sizzling, adding salt to taste. Eat straight from the pan or pile onto two plates.
