Savory Potato and Kefir Frittata

by

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and are lightly golden.
  3. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Onions and Garlic

  1. In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil or butter.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Mix the Egg Mixture

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, kefir, cheese, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
  2. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs.

Step 4: Assemble the Frittata

  1. Spread the sautéed onions evenly in the skillet, then layer the cooked potatoes on top.
  2. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it spreads evenly to cover all ingredients.

Step 5: Cook and Finish

  1. Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and transfer the skillet to the oven.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing it into wedges.
  2. Garnish with extra herbs and serve warm or at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables.
  • Serve with crusty bread or toast for a complete meal.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top for extra creaminess.

Tips for Success

  1. Thin Potato Slices: Slice the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
  2. Customizable Add-Ins: Add cooked bacon, sausage, or other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  3. Use a Nonstick Skillet: A nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet ensures the frittata slides out easily.
