SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA
Spain has one of my favorite omelets made from potatoes, cheese and onions called a "tortilla." Not to be confused with a Mexican tortilla, a Spanish tortilla is like the perfect mash-up of a baked potato and scrambled eggs. The Spanish serve it like an appetizer, but I love making it into an omelet. The key is to season every layer with salt and pepper at each stage. Small yellow potatoes are a bit more work to peel and dice, but they're sweeter than larger russet potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
- Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
- Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.

POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA
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.

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.

POTATO, ONION & EGG OMELET (FRITTATA)
My mom made these quite often because they were cheap, quick and had a protein, veggie, and starch, and because we kids loved them smothered with ketchup. Today they are known as frittatas but no matter what they're called, I call them Yummy!

Steps:
- 1. In large deep skillet, saute onions for about 5 minutes.
- 2. Add sliced or diced potatoes and continue to saute until potatoes are nearly tender.until tender and opaque.
- 3. Add salt and pepper to beaten eggs and pour over potatoes & onion mixture. If desired add crumbled bacon. Stir gently and swirl the pan so that the uncooked egg gets around all the sides, poke a few holes in the potato mixture to let the egg mixture reach to the bottom of the skillet. Don't overstir.
- 4. Cover, and reduce heat to lowest setting. Let cook until egg is almost completely set. Remove from heat and cover again - let sit for about 5 minutes. Egg mixture should be firm.
- 5. Slice into wedges and serve while warm. Add additional salt & pepper if needed.
- 6. OPTIONS: Add any ingredient that you like such as sliced bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, diced ham, top with grated cheddar cheese, etc. NOTES: My husband prefers his topped with butter, I like mine just the way I did as a kid, smothered in ketchup!
- 7. NOW, here's where this simple recipe can get amazing. Add grated cheese (your choice) to the top of the omelet after the eggs begin to set. Add your favorite salsa or picante sauce to the top just before the eggs are set, cover and heat through. Add crumbled bacon to the egg mixture and use 3 T reserved bacon grease, instead of margarine to saute the potatoes and onions. Use your imagination and add ingredients you enjoy. Here are other delicious toppings that I've used and added into the scrambled eggs or before the omelet is finished - use individually or together: Fresh Herbs - chives, rosemary, tarragon, basil, dill, fennel, sage, parsley or cilantro, sliced green onion, diced bell pepper - add along with potatoes and sliced onions, diced or sliced tomatoes, breakfast sausage -browned - and drained, chorizo, andouille, ham chunks, crumbled bacon, sliced mushrooms

Steps:
- Caramelized Onions; In a medium nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, salt and the 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

In a 9 to 10 inch nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, add the potatoes 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook uncovered, turning the potatoes occasionally, until they are browned and tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Spread the potatoes as evenly as possible in the skillet. Position the broiler rack about 6 inches from the source of heat and preheat the broiler. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs, rosemary and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well combined. Pour over the potatoesand reduce the heat to medium-low. Using a rubber spatula, lift up the cooked part of the frittata and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to run underneath. Continue cooking, occasionally lifting the frittata and tilting the skillet as described until the top is almost set, approximately 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the Gorgonzola. Broil until the frittata is puffed and the top is set 1 minute
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Select waxy or semi-waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. They hold their shape well and won't disintegrate during cooking.
- Use a Good Quality Non-Stick Skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Potatoes and Onions Thoroughly: This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
- Season the Eggs Generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper, as well as any other herbs or spices you like.
- Cook the Frittata Over Medium-Low Heat: This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
- Be Patient When Flipping the Frittata: Wait until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown before attempting to flip it.
- Serve the Frittata Warm: This is when it is at its best, but it can also be served cold or at room temperature.

The potato-onion frittata is a versatile and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
