Delicious Potato and Onion Frittata Recipe for Brunch

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (optional for creaminess)
  • 1 cup cheese (grated, such as Parmesan or cheddar)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (like parsley or chives, chopped)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and dice the potatoes, then slice the onion thinly.

    Soak the diced potatoes in water to remove excess starch.
  2. Cook the Potatoes and Onions

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onions, cooking until tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Beat the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until combined.

    Add freshly chopped herbs for extra flavor.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes and onions in the skillet. Sprinkle cheese on top.

    Ensure the eggs cover the vegetables evenly.
  5. Cook the Frittata

    Cook on low heat until the edges start to set, then transfer to a preheated oven to broil until the top is golden.

    Watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

    Great for brunch or as leftovers!
