Frugal Potato Frittata
This is my go-to CBF meal on a Monday or Tuesday night when I don’t have a lot of patience to cook. It is delicious and easy – and very easy on the hip pocket.
Well I suppose it does have a lot of eggs – I get eggs from Mum who has some chickens – so maybe not so cheap if you have to pick them up at the supermarket.
It’s also good cold the next day – and great for school lunches too.
Method
-
Slice the potatoes into very thin slices. Pop them in a bowl with a splash of water, cover and microwave for 7 minutes. Stir and microwave for a further 3 minutes or until the potato becomes a little soft (but not too much)
-
Heat a frypan with the half olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until they are soft but not golden.
-
Remove the potato slices from the microwave and drain any excess water.
-
Add the remaining olive oil to the potato slices and season well. Carefully toss the potatoes to coat without breaking the potatoes up too much.
-
In another bowl, combine the eggs and the cream, whisk until well combined.
-
Heat the frypan to low heat. Add the seasoned potatoes as evenly over the pan as you can.
-
Pour over the egg mixture.
-
Cook the mixture over low heat until the eggs appear to set (takes about 6 minutes)
-
Carefully flip the frittata over (a little tip - add a dinner plate to the top of the frypan, flip it over, then slide it back into the frypan).
-
Cook for a further 4 - 5 minutes.
-
Cut into wedges and serve warm.
