Ingredients
500 g potatoes
4 eggs
100 g semi-hard, melty cheese (such as provolone, scamorza, or well-drained mozzarella)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
Fresh parsley (optional)
Preparation
Step1
Peel and finely grate the potatoes. Set aside.
Step2
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of milk,
then add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the grated potatoes and stir well.
Step3
Divide the mixture into two parts. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan and pour in the first half of the mixture, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes. Set it aside, and repeat the same process with the remaining mixture.
Step4
Once the base is cooked, add the cheese filling on top of the frittata in the pan.Pour the second half of the mixture over the filling, covering it completely. Press gently with a spatula to make sure the two layers stick together.
Step5
Let it cook for another 5 minutes, until both sides are golden and the frittata is firm.
