Read an Excerpt

potato, onion & bacon frittata
3 slices thick-cut bacon
1 tbsp olive oil
½ lb (250 g) fingerling potatoes,
thinly sliced lengthwise
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
3 tbsp grated pecorino cheese
10 large eggs beaten with 1 tbsp
whole milk
 
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
 
In an ovenproof frying pan, cook the bacon over medium high heat, turning once, until crispy, about 7 minutes. Let drain on paper towels, then tear into bite-size pieces.
 
Pour off all but 1 tbsp of the fat in the pan and return to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden around the edges, about 8 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic, rosemary, and cooked bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute longer, and spread into an even layer. Stir the cheese into the egg mixture and add to the frying pan. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are set and the frittata is golden brown, 10–12 minutes. Loosen the edges with a rubber spatula and carefully invert the frittata onto a platter. Cut into wedges and serve.
