Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) if finishing the frittata in the oven.

  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Add diced potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Add onion, garlic, and red bell pepper; sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.

3. Prepare Egg Mixture:

  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

4. Combine & Cook:

  • Cook on the stove over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, letting the edges set slightly.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top if using.

5. Finish in Oven:

  • Alternatively, cover with a lid and cook on low heat on the stovetop for 8–10 minutes.

6. Serve:

  • Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
