Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 sweet onion, sliced
1 leftover baked russet potato, thinly sliced*
10 large eggs
½ cup half and half or whole milk
1 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese
2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
12 cherry tomatoes
Handful of Italian parsley, chopped

*Don't have an already-baked potato on hand? Grab a russet potato, use a fork to prick the skin all around the potato, then cover it tightly in plastic wrap and microwave for five minutes. Let the potato cool completely before handling it.

Preparation:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large oven-proof nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium/high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet.
  • Cook the onions in the skillet until they are translucent, about 5-7 minutes, and add the potato slices. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, and remaining salt and pepper. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the onions and potatoes.
  •  Use a spatula to evenly distribute the cheese.
  • Add the tomatoes on top.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set.
  • Let your frittata sit for two minutes before taking it out of the pan.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature.
