What is frittata?

Frittata is like a giant omelet that’s first cooked on the stove top and then finished in the oven. To serve it’s usually cut into slices and served like a quiche.

Why you will love this recipe

Ingredients and Substitution

  • Potatoes. My favorite potatoes for this recipe is Yukon Gold variety. They are perfectly tender and creamy inside, while having delicious outside crust. My second favorite are sweet potatoes. They provide great sweet flavor to the dish.
  • Spinach. You can easily substitute it with kale, arugula, or Swiss chard.
  • Tomatoes. I would highly suggest to use cherry tomatoes for this dish. If you dice regular tomatoes, they will produce a lot of liquid, making the frittata soggy.
  • Cheese. Sharp cheddar cheese is my to go variety, as I always have it in my fridge. You can also use Gouda, Gruyere, or goat cheese.
  • Add-ons. Feel free to add other vegetables, like bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, scallions, or mushrooms.

Serve immediately.

Tips to make the best Potato Frittata

  • When frying potatoes, I like to use a mix of olive oil and butter. Olive oil will insure that the potatoes won’t burn, while the butter provide the best flavor.
  • The best way to get crispy potatoes that are soft inside is to cook them over medium heat covered with the lid. Stir them occasionally but not too often, not to break them up and let them get the golden crust. If the potatoes start to brown too quickly, lower the heat to medium/low. If they start to dry out, add another tablespoon of butter.
  • When you bake the frittata in the oven, watch it closely! You don’t want to overbake and make it rubbery.

Storage and Freezing

  • How to store? You can transfer the leftovers to an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • How to reheat? You can reheat it in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes.
  • How to freeze? Transfer the frittata in a freezer safe air-tight container and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave it in the fridge overnight and reheat as the instructions above.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between frittata and quiche?

One of the main differences is quiche is made with a crust base, when frittata is not. Also, quiche is usually fully baked in the oven, while frittata in started on the stove top and then finished off in the oven.

How to know if frittata is fully cooked?

The best way to know if frittata is fully cooked is it will be set in the center and not giggling.

What pan shall I use to make frittata?

I always like to use my 10-inch cast iron skillet. It is oven-safe and makes the best crispy potatoes. If you don’t have it on hand, you can use any oven-safe skillet you have.

What to serve with potato frittata?

I usually serve it with with some light side dish, like salad or vegetables. Here are a few ideas:
Salads: Butternut Squash Quinoa Salad, Mediterranean Farro Salad, Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad.
Vegetables: Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables, Green Beans Almondine.

    We love frittata and make it a lot. Here in Italy, it’s a classic go-to dish when you don’t know what to make but it’s also a way to use up leftovers. I make it often with leftover boiled or roasted potatoes. I love this version with the tomatoes and spinach. Nice recipe!

    Frittata is a dish I don’t make too often but enjoy so much when I do. I had some leftover potatoes in the fridge so I crisped them up and tried this recipe. Love these flavours all together.
