Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by peeling and thinly slicing the potatoes. Keep the slices uniform to ensure even cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly golden.
- While the potatoes are cooking, roughly chop the spinach and mince the garlic.
- Add the spinach and garlic to the skillet with the potatoes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy.
- Pour the whisked egg whites over the potato and spinach mixture in the skillet.
- Gently stir to make sure the egg whites are evenly distributed.
- Reduce the heat to low. Allow the frittata to cook undisturbed until the egg whites are set and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- If necessary, cover the skillet with a lid to help the egg whites cook evenly.
- Season the frittata with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once cooked, you can either slide the frittata out of the skillet onto a serving plate or carefully flip it over using a large spatula.
- Cut the frittata into wedges and serve hot. This dish can be enjoyed on its own or with a light salad on the side.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the frittata from sticking and to make flipping easier.
- If you prefer a fuller flavor, you can use whole eggs instead of egg whites or a mix of both.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms to the frittata for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese on top before placing the frittata in the oven.
- Ensure that the potatoes are thinly sliced to allow even cooking and a crispy texture.
- If you're short on time, you can pre-cook the potatoes in the microwave for a few minutes before adding them to the skillet.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients.
Your Potato & Spinach Frittata is now ready to be served! Enjoy it hot or at room temperature, and feel free to pair it with a fresh salad or a slice of whole-grain bread for a complete meal.
