Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 500 g medium-large potatoes waxy potatoes preferred
  • 6 units eggs
  • 1 handful fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 60 g Grana Padano or Parmesan Cheese grated (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

Instructions

  • Begin by peeling the potatoes and slicing them into thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick.
  • In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and season with a pinch of sea salt. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk until fully combined, then stir in the chopped parsley, grated cheese (if using), and season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it spreads evenly. Allow to cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
  • To cook the top of the frittata, place the skillet under a broiler for a couple of minutes or cover with a lid and let cook on low heat until fully set, about 5 minutes.
  • Once cooked through, let cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
