- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden and tender, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Let it cook on the stovetop over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
- Enjoy your Potato Frittata warm or at room temperature. This dish is as versatile as it is delicious, and the basil leaves add a touch of elegance and freshness that will surely impress your guests!
