Ingredients

• 8 oz Chorizo sausage
• 2 medium Russet potatoes
• 8 Eggs
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 1 small White onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the white onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Return the skillet to medium heat, and add the chorizo sausage, removed from its casing if necessary. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and place it on the plate with the potatoes.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until they are soft and fragrant.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked potatoes, cooked chorizo, and sautéed onion and garlic.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the edges to set slightly.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before slicing into wedges and serving.
