Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the potatoes: In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the zucchini and onions: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the zucchini slices and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are just tender.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked potatoes.
- Combine and cook: Pour the egg mixture over the zucchini and onions in the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes, allowing the edges to set.
- Bake the frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.
- Serve: Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
