Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup diced green bell pepper
1 zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut in 1/4 inch slices
2 cups cooked and diced potatoes
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
2 tablespoons black olives
4 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ small tomato, sliced
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler on your oven.
  • In a frying pan with an ovenproof handle heat the oil and saute onion, garlic and green bell pepper over a low heat. Saute until vegetables are just tender but not browned. Add the zucchini and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Add the potatoes, stir well to combine, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are heated through and starting to stick to the pan.
  • Then add the tomatoes and black olives, stirring well to combine with the other ingredients, and cook just until the tomatoes have begun giving up their juice.

POTATO FRITTATA



Potato Frittata image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 appetizer or luncheon servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Idaho potatoes
3 eggs
6 egg whites
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon mixed chopped fresh herbs
2 sun-dried tomatoes, minced
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Scrub the potatoes, quarter them and place them in a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook until they are tender, about 25 minutes. Allow them to cool briefly, peel them and slice them.
  • Beat the eggs and egg whites with the salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese, herbs and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet or use two 8- to 9-inch skillets. Nonstick skillets will make this recipe easier to prepare. Spread the potato slices in the oil and cook them until they begin to brown, then turn them so the other side browns lightly. Season them with salt and pepper. Be sure none are sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan or pans and when it is hot, add the egg mixture. Cook over medium heat until the eggs are lightly browned on the bottom. Loosen the eggs around the edges and shake the pan to make sure the frittata is loose in the pan. Flip it over by placing a large plate on the pan, turning both plate and pan over together, then sliding the frittata back into the pan. Cook the frittata another few minutes. Instead of flipping the frittata, the top side of it can be lightly browned under a broiler. Either transfer the frittata to a serving platter or serve it directly from the pan.

  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the frittata cook evenly and give it a nice crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. The potatoes should be in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Don't flip the frittata. Just let it cook undisturbed until the top is set and the center is still a little bit runny.
