Instructions:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
- Place the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to brown slightly.
- Toss in the bread cubes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing them to soak up any excess oil and become slightly crispy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, and spice mix until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the potatoes, bread, onion, and garlic. Stir gently to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
- Add the butter in small pieces around the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook the mixture on the stovetop until the edges start to set, about 5-7 minutes.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the top is golden brown and the frittata is fully set, about 3-5 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove the skillet from the oven. Allow the frittata to cool slightly.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the potatoes thinly to ensure they cook through evenly and quickly.
- Use day-old bread for better texture; fresh bread might become too soggy.
- Feel free to customize the spice mix to your liking – a pinch of paprika or a dash of dried herbs can add a unique twist.
- Pre-cook the onions and garlic until they are soft and fragrant to enhance their flavors before incorporating them into the frittata.
- Allow the frittata to rest for a few minutes after cooking; this helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
- Consider adding some grated cheese over the top before baking for an extra layer of richness.
