Frïtâ de patatte,
Frittata di patate,
Omelette with potatoes
It can also be an appetizer.
To serve 4:
6 eggs
1 k. (2 lbs) boiled potatoes, sliced
100 g.(4 oz) grated Parmigiano or Pecorino
100 g (4 oz)of bread rolls pith, soaked in warm milk, well squeezed and chopped
extra virgin olive oil
marjoram
salt
Mix the potato slices with the cheese, the pith, the marjoram and some salt.
Lightly beat the eggs to incorporate some air into them, which will make for a fluffier frittata. Add the potato mix.
Pour the mixture into the greased skillet, give the skillet a brisk shake to distribute them evenly (this omelette should be 3 cm /1" high), and let the frittata cook, without stirring, till the top begins to firm up. Cover the skillet with a lid that doesn't have a lip and flip it upside-down while holding the lid pressed to it (you may want to do this over a sink the first time).
The frittata will come to rest on the lid; turn the skillet right-side up, slide the frittata back into it, and cook it for a couple of minutes more to set it through. It shouldn't be runny, nor should it be bone dry.
As a variation in technique, if your skillet has heatproof handles you can slip it into the oven for a few minutes once the top begins to set. In either case, slice the frittata into wedges as you might with a pizza before you serve it.
Serve warm or room temperature.
