Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound russet or red potatoes, (sliced 1/4" medallions )
1 small onion, (halved and sliced)
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
6 large eggs
3/4 cup ricotta cheese* ((whole or part skim))
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. On a large baking sheet mix together sliced potatoes, onions, and olive oil. Arrange potatoes in a single layer potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through. Remove from oven when potatoes are golden brown. Turn down the oven to 375ºF. Set potatoes aside to cool slightly.
  • When the potatoes and onions are cool enough to handle, arrange them in a greased pie plate (see pic in post). Spread half the potatoes and all the onions on the bottom of the pie plate. Arrange remaining potatoes, standing up and overlapping, around the edge to form a "potato crust."
  • Whisk together the eggs, ricotta, parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Gently pour over potatoes and onions. If desired, drizzle additional olive oil on top.
  • Put frittata back into 375ºF oven for 30 minutes or until middle is set and eggs are cooked through. If crust is becoming overly browned before eggs are cooked, use a pie shield or loosely tent foil around crust. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. Combining different types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and russet potatoes, will give your frittata a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. You want them to be tender but still slightly firm.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the frittata cook evenly and give it a nice browned crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too many ingredients, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
  • Be patient when cooking the frittata. It takes a little time for the eggs to set, so don't rush it.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day for breakfast or lunch.

Conclusion:

A hearty potato frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With so many different variations to choose from, you're sure to find a frittata recipe that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give a potato frittata a try.
