How to Make Potato Basil Frittata Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and thinly slice 1.5 lbs of potatoes. Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden.
  4. While potatoes are roasting, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
  5. If using, finely chop 1 cup fresh basil or 1 cup fresh parsley.
  6. Optional: Stir in 5 oz cottage cheese, 12 oz ricotta cheese, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. If using cheese, reduce the amount of Parmesan to 2 tablespoons.
  7. In a 9 or 10-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron is great!), combine the roasted potatoes and egg mixture. Gently stir to combine.
  8. If using, sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the frittata cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
