Nifs Potato Frittata Recipes

CLASSIC ITALIAN POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch large cubes.
• In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, boil the potatoes for about 5 min, until just tender.
• In the meantime, in a large bowl whisk the eggs until well combined, add in chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Drain well the potatoes and add them into the bowl with the eggs. Fold in the cheese (if using) and lightly mix all ingredients.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet with the olive oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the frittata mixture, making sure to distribute the potatoes evenly over the bottom of the pan.
• Cover with a lid and cook for about 5-10 minutes, gently shaking the pan every now and then. When the frittata is easily pulled off from the bottom, is ready to be turned. Using a plate with the same diameter of the frittata, carefully put it on top and flip the frittata on the other side.
• Cook on the other side for a further 2-5 minutes, this time without the lid.
• When the frittata is fully cooked, remove from the pan and slide it gently onto a serving plate, and serve
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

POTATO FRITTATA

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.
