POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA



Potato and Onion Frittata image

This dish is based on the classic omelet of Spain, tortilla española. In the authentic dish, the potatoes are fried, and most recipes call for copious amounts of oil. In this version, I steam the potatoes to cut down on oil and use a waxier variety of potato with a lower glycemic index. Waxier potatoes also have a better texture when steamed instead of fried.

Time 8m

Yield Serves 10 as a tapa

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound boiling potatoes, peeled if desired and cut in small dice (1/2 to 3/4 inch)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow or red onion, finely chopped
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste (about 3/4 teaspoon)
6 large eggs

Steps:

  • Steam the potatoes until tender, about eight minutes, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet, and add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about five minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan, and toss together gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Stir in the potatoes and onions.
  • Return the pan to the stove, and heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a drop of egg; when it sizzles and cooks at once, scrape the eggs and vegetables back into the pan. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata, and tilt the pan to let egg run underneath and set. When the bottom of the frittata has set, turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook gently for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
  • Uncover the pan, and slide under the broiler for a minute or two (watch closely) to set the top. Remove from the heat. Let the tortilla set in the pan for a few minutes, then slide out onto a serving plate. Allow to cool to room temperature, and cut into small diamonds to serve as hors d'oeuvres.

POTATO-AND-ONION FRITTATA



Potato-and-Onion Frittata image

This easy-to-make potato and onion frittata is a delicious addition to any breakfast or brunch menu.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound small yellow potatoes (such as fingerlings), thinly sliced crosswise
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
18 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  • In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, and cook for 5 minutes more.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, the remaining teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Add parsley, if desired. Add egg mixture to skillet, and cook, drawing eggs away from the sides and bottom of the pan with a heatproof spatula so that the uncooked egg runs underneath. When the mixture is loosely set around the edges, place pan in the oven, and bake until puffed and completely set, about 20 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and slide out onto a serving plate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better the ingredients, the better the frittata will be. Use organic eggs, fresh green onions, and high-quality cheese.
  • Don't overcook the frittata: The frittata should be cooked through, but it should still be moist and fluffy. Overcooking will make the frittata dry and rubbery.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will help the frittata to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature: The frittata can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great option for a picnic or potluck dinner.

Conclusion:

The potato and green onion frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great option for a picnic or potluck dinner. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this frittata is a great recipe for beginner cooks and experienced chefs alike.
