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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as russet potatoes, and are ideal for this recipe.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help prevent the bottom from burning.
  • Flip the frittata carefully: Use a spatula to gently loosen the edges of the frittata before flipping it. If you are using a non-stick skillet, you may not need to flip the frittata.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This rocket, ricotta, and potato frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of soft potatoes, creamy ricotta, and peppery rocket, this frittata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
