Maybe my onion was too finely chopped, but my potatoes needed much more time in the pan than the onions did. If I were going to make this again (I probably won’t...), I would add the potatoes first and then the onions once the potatoes are almost done. Didn't have prosciutto (I don't eat pork), so I subbed olives. Subbed parsley for the fresh herbs at the end. On their own, each of these ingredients are unremarkable, but they're not bad all together here. Nothing special, but I could think of worse things to eat.
Doubled the sorrel because I had lots. Really nice lunch.
This was very nice. I cooked everything in 1 large caste iron pan in 3 stages, starting with the potatoes and onions, then adding the shredded prosciutto (used 4 ounces) and then adding the beaten eggs. I used watercress (never seem to find sorrel locally) I served this with an avocado salad with a lemon olive oil anchovy dressing.
