Ingredients

  • 34 medium potatoes (about 1 lb), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. If using onion, add it after 5 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  5. Reduce heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  6. Cook for 8–10 minutes until mostly set with a slightly soft center.
  7. Flip the frittata using a plate or spatula and cook the other side for about 5 minutes until fully set.
  8. Let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for best texture.
  • Add fresh herbs or sautéed vegetables for variety.
  • Use a well-oiled non-stick or cast iron skillet to prevent sticking.
  • To avoid flipping, finish cooking under a broiler until set and golden.
  • Frittata tastes great cold, making it ideal for meal prep or leftovers.
