Preparation

  1. 1.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. 2.
    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. 3.
    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4.
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, chopped herbs, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Add the cooked potatoes and sautéed onions to the egg mixture and gently combine.
  5. 5.
    Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and pour the egg and potato mixture into the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
  6. 6.
    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden brown on top.
  7. 7.
    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Potatoes — Make sure to slice the potatoes thinly to ensure even cooking throughout the frittata.
  • Fresh herbs — Use a combination of parsley, dill, and cilantro for a vibrant and aromatic flavor profile. Feel free to adjust the quantities based on your personal preference.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a crispier frittata, you can broil it for a couple of minutes after baking.
  • Serve the frittata with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a side salad for a complete meal.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach to the frittata for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Leftover frittata can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated for a quick and easy meal.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor of the frittata to your liking.

Serving advice

Serve the savory potato and herb frittata warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as a main dish for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. Cut it into wedges and serve with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.

Presentation advice

Garnish the frittata with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, to add a pop of color. Serve it on a platter or individual plates, allowing the golden crust and vibrant green herbs to shine.
