Cooking method

Cooking time: 40 min

1. We start with products that require preparation:

- wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin circles,

- peel the shallots from the husk, then slice it thinly to your taste (circles or halves of circles),

- wash and dry the greens to your taste (rosemary, thyme are good, but you can also take the more familiar parsley, dill), chop it finely. We leave some of the green twigs to decorate the finished dish.

2. Turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees Celsius, since frittata is traditionally first cooked on fire, and then baked in the oven.

3. Put the potato circles in a saucepan, pour water so that they are completely covered with it and put the pan on medium heat. When the water boils, reduce the heat to moderate and cook the potatoes for 5 minutes. Do not forget to add a little salt to the water. When time passes, remove the pan from the heat, drain the water and leave the potatoes aside for now.

4. We put a medium-sized frying pan on medium heat, pour olive oil into it, warm it up well. Put the chopped shallots and chopped greens in the heated oil, as well as half-finished potato slices. Mix and cook everything together for 3-4 minutes, adding salt in the process. During this time, the potatoes should be fried until tender, and the shallots should become transparent and a little golden. Do not forget to stir the contents of the pan from time to time.

5. Eggs, previously well washed and dried with a towel, are broken into a bowl, then whisk them with a fork, add ground black pepper to taste, salt, pour in milk. Pour the mixture into a frying pan with onions and potatoes.

6. Prepare the frittata, helping with a wooden spatula, for 5 minutes. At the same time, we increase the fire.

7. Now put the frying pan with frittata in the oven for 2-3 minutes.

The frittata is ready and it can be served to the table, garnished with fresh aromatic herbs!
