Ingredients

7 large eggs
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes diced
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes cut in halves
3 cups spinach
⅓ cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
salt, pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and season with salt. Set aside.
Preheat 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp unsalted butter, and diced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 10-15 minutes with the lid on until potatoes are crispy outside and tender inside.
Add diced cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 minute. Then add spinach and stir for another minute until it’s wilted.
Pour in the whisked egg mixture into the skillet and top with grated sharp cheddar cheese.
Then transfer to the oven and bake at 350F for about 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
Serve immediately.

Notes

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.
How to store? You can transfer the leftovers to an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
