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.

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes for 10-15 mins until tender. Add the broccoli for the last 2 mins of cooking. Drain and thickly slice the potatoes.
- Meanwhile, put the green beans and mixed beans in a pan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 mins, or until the green beans are tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry in the pan.
- Heat the grill to high. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan and fry the garlic for 1 min, then add the chilli flakes or cumin or fennel seeds and cook for 1 min more. Add the potatoes, broccoli and seasoning, and toss to coat in the flavoured oil.
- Beat the eggs in a jug, season and pour over the potato mix. Cook over a medium heat for 2 mins, or until the base is set. Dollop teaspoons of the ricotta on top, then grill for 4-5 mins until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, drizzle another 1 tsp oil over the bean mixture with the vinegar. Stir in the basil, if using, and season. Slice the frittata into four wedges, and serve two with half the bean salad on the side. Chill the remaining wedges and bean salad to use in the lunchboxes below.

SWEET POTATO RICOTTA FRITTERS
Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until smooth. Form into 1 1/2-inch balls (the size of a walnut) and set aside on a cookie sheet.
- Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a deep heavy pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer to 365 degrees F.
- Working in batches to avoid crowing the pot, fry the balls until golden brown all over, moving them around in the oil to make sure they brown evenly. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. (Let the oil return to 365 degrees F between batches.)
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.

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.
