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
salt & pepper

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 roasted red pepper, drained, pat dry and diced
1/2 to 2/3 cup drained chopped Spanish green olives with pimiento
6 eggs
Generous splash half-and-half or milk
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a small 6 to 8-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion to the hot oil and cook until soft and tender but not caramelized - keep the onion white. Add roasted peppers and olives and combine. Beat the eggs with half-and-half or milk and season them with salt and pepper. (Go easy on the salt because of the olives.) Pour the eggs into the skillet and keep settling them to the bottom of the pan as you would an omelet. When the eggs are firm on the bottom and set, transfer pan to the oven for about 10 minutes until top is golden brown. Cut and serve from the skillet or invert the frittata on to a serving plate.

POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA



Potato and Onion Frittata image

This dish is based on the classic omelet of Spain, tortilla española. In the authentic dish, the potatoes are fried, and most recipes call for copious amounts of oil. In this version, I steam the potatoes to cut down on oil and use a waxier variety of potato with a lower glycemic index. Waxier potatoes also have a better texture when steamed instead of fried.

Time 8m

Yield Serves 10 as a tapa

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound boiling potatoes, peeled if desired and cut in small dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow or red onion, finely chopped
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste (about 3/4 teaspoon)
6 large eggs

Steps:

  • Steam the potatoes until tender, about eight minutes, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet, and add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about five minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan, and toss together gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Stir in the potatoes and onions.
  • Return the pan to the stove, and heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a drop of egg; when it sizzles and cooks at once, scrape the eggs and vegetables back into the pan. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata, and tilt the pan to let egg run underneath and set. When the bottom of the frittata has set, turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook gently for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
  • Uncover the pan, and slide under the broiler for a minute or two (watch closely) to set the top. Remove from the heat. Let the tortilla set in the pan for a few minutes, then slide out onto a serving plate. Allow to cool to room temperature, and cut into small diamonds to serve as hors d'oeuvres.

FRITTATA



Frittata image

Serve this easy-to-make frittata as an appetizer or main course for brunch. It's delicious right out of the oven, at room temperature, or even as next-day leftovers. This recipe is adapted from the "Martha Stewart's Cooking School" cookbook.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 pound small fingerling potatoes, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 basil leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
12 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ounces fresh goat cheese, cut into 6 pieces
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano or Asiago cheese, finely grated (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove onions and add remaining tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Add potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Saute until they begin to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Return onions to skillet in an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with basil and parsley.
  • Heat broiler. Use a whisk to lightly beat eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in cream, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  • Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof flexible spatula to stir and push egg from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs are almost set (they should still be wet on top but otherwise set throughout), 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Drop dollops of goat cheese on top of frittata, distributing evenly and pressing down into eggs a bit with the spatula. Sprinkle evenly with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Broil until frittata is set on top and has puffed slightly, and cheese is melted and golden, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Gently run the spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of pan onto a plate. Slice into six wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when cooked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: This will add flavor and richness to the frittata.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're using a smaller pan, cook the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Season the potatoes well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Cook the potatoes until they're tender: This may take a few minutes, so be patient and don't rush the process.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will add a delicious flavor to the frittata.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Serve immediately: The frittata is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This olive potato frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try!
