This easy and flavorful dish combines tender potatoes and fresh zucchini in a light, fluffy frittata perfect for any meal. It’s a great way to enjoy a healthy and satisfying bite that’s quick to prepare and full of wholesome goodness.
Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Toss in the potatoes and let them cook for about 5 minutes, then drain and set them aside. Next, heat some oil in a deep cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini and onion, cooking until they turn a nice golden color, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Then, gently stir in the potatoes so everything mixes together.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour this egg mixture evenly over the veggies in the skillet and give it a gentle stir with a fork to combine. Let it cook on the stove until the eggs start to set, about 5 to 10 minutes.
While that’s cooking, move an oven rack to about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat it. When the eggs are mostly set, pop the skillet under the broiler for around 5 minutes, just until the top turns a lovely golden brown. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
- Cook the potatoes thoroughly before adding eggs to ensure they are soft.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after cooking to help it set and make slicing cleaner.
This dish is a perfect blend of tender potatoes and fresh zucchini, making it both hearty and light. It cooks quickly and is great for any meal of the day. Plus, it’s easy to customize with your favorite herbs and cheeses.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of mixed greens or a fresh tomato salad. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan can add extra flavor. It also pairs nicely with crusty bread or a light vinaigrette.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to maintain texture. This dish can also be frozen; wrap tightly and thaw overnight before reheating.
