Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Slice the onion thinly as well.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced potatoes and onions. Stir gently to coat them in the oil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but not browned.
Step 4
While the potatoes and onions are cooking, crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the salt and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Step 5
Once the potatoes and onions are cooked, remove them from the skillet with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the bowl with the eggs. Mix gently to combine and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Remove any excess oil from the skillet, leaving just a thin coating to prevent sticking. Heat the skillet over medium heat again.
Step 7
Pour the potato and egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
Step 8
To finish cooking the frittata, carefully slide a spatula around the edges and underneath it to loosen it from the skillet. Place a large plate upside down over the skillet and quickly flip the frittata onto the plate.
Step 9
Slide the frittata back into the skillet, uncooked side down, and cook for another 5 minutes, until fully set and golden brown on both sides.
Step 10
Remove the frittata from the skillet and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
