Whisk together the eggs and milk and pour over the potatoes, put in the oven and cook for about 40 minutes on a medium to hot heat.

  1. I neglected to reserve some mackerel from yesterdays chowder for this, so it is mackerel-less. I am not sure how hot to have the oven to cook the omelette so I will do it at my normal Gas Mark 5-6 which I use for just about everything.
