How to Make Potato Frittata

  1. Peel and dice 1 medium Desiree potato (about 1 cup diced).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small/medium oven-safe frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add 50g diced ham and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Preheat your broiler to high.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of black pepper.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes and ham in the frying pan.
  7. Gently push a few fresh basil leaves (about 5-7) into the egg mixture. Gently lift the potatoes and ham to allow the egg mixture to flow underneath.
  8. Reduce heat to low and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the frittata is almost set but the top is still slightly runny.
  9. Place the frying pan under the preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is lightly browned.
  10. Let the frittata rest for a few minutes before carefully loosening the edges with a spatula and sliding it onto a serving plate.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
