Description

This classic Potato Onion Frittata is a comforting and versatile dish that bridges the gap between breakfast and dinner. The key to this recipe lies in the slow-cooking of thinly sliced baking potatoes and sweet onions in olive oil until they are tender and lightly browned. This process builds a deep, savory foundation that contrasts beautifully with the fluffy, custard-like texture of the egg mixture. The result is a golden, sliceable cake that holds its shape well, making it excellent for meal prep or serving alongside a fresh green salad. It is an ideal choice for weekend brunches, light lunches, or a quick family dinner when you want something substantial yet simple. The earthy flavors of the potatoes pair perfectly with the richness of the eggs, creating a satisfying meal that feels both homestyle and elegant.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven broiler to high.
  2. Peel and slice the baking potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Slice the medium onion into thin half-rings.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the potatoes and onions to the skillet, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the vegetables for 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes are softened and lightly browned.
  6. While the vegetables cook, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and onion mixture in the skillet.
  8. Cook on the stovetop for 6 to 8 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until the edges are set.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the oven broiler.
  10. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, watching closely, until the top is puffy, golden, and fully set.
  11. Remove from the oven, let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.
