Mashed Potato Frittata
Description
Mashed Potato Frittata blends mashed potatoes with sautéed red bell pepper, green onion, and mushrooms, eggs, salt, and grated Gruyere cheese. Vegetables are first sautéed in oil or butter until softened, imparting their flavors and a slight sweetness. They are then combined with the mashed potatoes, eggs, salt, and cheese to form a uniform batter.
The mixture is cooked in an oven-safe sauté pan over medium heat until the bottom sets, then transferred to a 350°F oven to cook through. The broiler is used briefly to brown and create a golden crust on top, adding texture contrast. The finished frittata has a firm but tender interior with a cheesy, vegetable-filled flavor and a crisp top.
This dish can be sliced into wedges and served warm for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal. Its combination of creamy potatoes and vegetables delivers a comforting yet flavorful option.
