Ingredients
  

  • 2 potatoes medium sized
  • 1 yellow onion medium sized
  • 9 eggs large brown or white
  • ⅓ cup grated cheddar cheese or cheese of your choice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

Prepare Ingredients

  • Thinly slice the potatoes and the onion
  • Break 9 eggs into a bowl or large measuring cup and lightly beat them
  • Grate the cheese (if you are grating it yourself)

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  • Warm a heavy bottomed, oven safe skillet on medium high heat.
  • When warmed, cover the bottom of the skillet with olive oil. Add the potato and onion to the skillet and sauté until the potato and onions are tender. While sautéing, add the salt and pepper.
  • Stir continuously. Don't let the potatoes or onions get crispy brown or stick to the bottom. If that is happening turn the heat down.
  • Once the potato slices are tender, remove the skillet from the heat. Pour the eggs over the potato and onion, but do not mix the eggs in. Top with the grated cheese.
  • Let the skillet sit for 5 minutes before putting it in the oven.
  • Put the skillet into your preheated oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until the edges of the frittata are browned and there are some golden brown speckles on the top.
  • Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

A frittata is an easy and economical meal to prepare for breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner. It is great served with soup or salad.
