Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound (about 8) small new potatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 small onions (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 ounce sharp white cheddar cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
10 large eggs, whisked
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; let cool. Peel, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions until just translucent, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and potatoes are golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix together cheddar and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Dollop with sour cream, and swirl into egg mixture using the tip of a knife. Cook until edge is set, about 2 minutes. Carefully transfer skillet to oven, and bake until eggs are completely set, 10 to 12 minutes. Invert frittata onto a plate. Let cool slightly. Serve warm.

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.

SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA



Spanish-Style Potato and Onion Frittata image

Spain has one of my favorite omelets made from potatoes, cheese and onions called a "tortilla." Not to be confused with a Mexican tortilla, a Spanish tortilla is like the perfect mash-up of a baked potato and scrambled eggs. The Spanish serve it like an appetizer, but I love making it into an omelet. The key is to season every layer with salt and pepper at each stage. Small yellow potatoes are a bit more work to peel and dice, but they're sweeter than larger russet potatoes.

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan, divided
1 pound (454 grams) yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into small dice
4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup (30 grams) shredded mozzarella or other melting cheese
Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
  • Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
  • Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.

THE FARMER'S FRITTATA (ITALIAN-STYLE OMELET)



The Farmer's Frittata (Italian-Style Omelet) image

Loaded with fresh vegetables and a touch of bacon, this farmer's frittata is my favorite type of frittata. It's a perfect way to use your gorgeous, fresh garden vegetables. Curing the squash with kosher salt pulls out the bitterness and makes the squash taste sweeter. It's got great texture, taste, and visual appeal and can be served hot, warm, at room temperature or cold for any meal of the day.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Omelets

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups cubed zucchini
2 ½ cups cubed yellow summer squash
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 slice thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
8 large eggs
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sliced green onions, or to taste
⅓ cup diced red onion
1 cup diced sweet peppers
2 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt over top; toss until everything is evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.
  • Raise the heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the peppers just start to soften and the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula (like you were making scrambled eggs) until it starts to thicken up, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle the contents and turn off the heat. Push the edges down a bit with the spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with more green onions and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a serving plate.
