Est. Time: 35 min  •  4 Preparation Steps

Chef's Menu Description

The heartwarming comfort of the Italian home kitchen: tender, slow-cooked sliced potatoes and sweet golden onions suspended in a thick, fluffy frittata with Parmigiano Reggiano.

Ingredients

  • • 6 large free-range eggs
  • • 350g waxy potatoes, peeled and sliced into 3mm rounds
  • • 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
  • • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • • 50g Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
  • • Salt, freshly ground black pepper, and fresh parsley

Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Heat olive oil in a 24cm heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add potatoes and sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cover and cook gently for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and onions are sweet and translucent without heavy browning.

2
Phase 2

In a bowl, whisk eggs with grated cheese, chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt.

3
Phase 3

Pour egg mixture directly over the tender potatoes in the pan. Cook over low heat for 8 minutes until the edges pull away and the bottom is golden brown.

4
Phase 4

Place a large flat plate over the skillet, invert quickly and confidently, then slide the frittata back into the pan to cook the second side for 3 minutes. Slice into wedges.
