A simple and comforting frittata featuring crispy potatoes and caramelized onions with a fluffy egg interior, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or cream (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into about 1/8-inch thick rounds. Thinly slice the yellow onion.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and the butter in an 8- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and onions, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and onions are caramelized, about 12-15 minutes.
  3. While the potatoes and onions cook, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, pepper, and fresh herbs until light and slightly frothy.
  4. Spread the cooked potatoes and onions evenly in the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the top and cook over medium-low heat without stirring for 4-5 minutes until edges begin to set but center is still runny.
  5. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375Β°F (190Β°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the frittata is puffed, set in the center, and golden on top.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture and buttery flavor. Cook potatoes and onions slowly over medium heat to develop crispness and caramelization. If skillet handle is not oven-safe, cover with foil before baking. Avoid overcooking in the oven to keep the interior fluffy. Leftovers reheat best in the oven to preserve crispiness.
