Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Heat the olive oil in a large (10-inch) skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
02
Step
9 mins
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer across the bottom of the pan. Cook, turning once, until golden brown and tender on both sides. This may need to be done in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the cooked potato slices and set aside. (8-10 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
Once all the potato slices are cooked, return them to the pan, arranging them evenly. Turn the heat to medium. (1 minute)
04
Step
1 mins
Pour the beaten eggs over the potatoes and season generously with salt and pepper. Tilt the pan so that the eggs evenly coat the bottom. (1 minute)
05
Step
1 mins
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan with a large plate and carefully invert the frittata onto the plate. (1 minute)
06
Step
3 mins
Slide the frittata back into the pan, uncooked side down. Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the frittata is lightly golden on the bottom. (2-3 minutes)
07
Step
Remove the frittata from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving. Cut into wedges or rectangles.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or rosemary, to the egg mixture before cooking.
A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of balsamic glaze would also be delicious additions.
Be careful when flipping the frittata to avoid splattering hot oil.
