How to Make American Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Boil 1 lb diced Yukon Gold potatoes in salted water until tender but firm (about 5-7 minutes). Drain and set aside to cool.
  3. While potatoes cook, chop 1 medium yellow onion and dice 6 oz cooked ham.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe cast iron skillet (or a 9-inch pie pan) over medium heat.
  5. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  6. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add the cooked potatoes, diced ham, and cooked onions to the bowl with the eggs. Gently stir to combine.
  8. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared skillet (or pie pan).
  9. Cook on the stovetop until the eggs are set on the bottom (about 5 minutes).
  10. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  11. Transfer the skillet (or pie pan) to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the eggs are completely set.
