Pan-Fried Potato and Fontina Frittata

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 pound fingerling or other small potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley, rosemary, thyme, and sage), plus more for garnish
10 large eggs
8 ounces fontina cheese, grated

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat the oil and butter in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the herbs.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese; pour the mixture over the potatoes. Stir until the eggs begin to set slightly, about 30 seconds. Without stirring, continue cooking until the eggs are set on the sides and bottom, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the oven; bake until just set, 12 to 15 minutes.

    Step 3

    Slide the frittata onto a serving platter, or let cool and slide into a 10-inch pie plate (and cover with a second pie plate) for easy transport. Serve garnished with chopped herbs, if desired.
