Potato Frittata - Home Economics

Today in Home Economics, we made Frittata. This time I changed groups and worked together with Axle, Jaxon and Miah. It was a better lesson and my group cooperated and communicated really well and got the food made on time.  

In our Frittata we had beaten eggs, cheese, potatoes, vegetables such as, peas, corn, broccoli and spinach, and more. Unfortunately I am allergic to eggs so I didn't get to try out the Frittata. My groups thoughts on the cooking was alright and they suggested next time to add more garlic, vegetables and salt and pepper, for more flavor and taste. 

Overall I enjoyed cooking again, and I can't wait for the following lessons.

Ingredients:

- 2c cold cooked potatoes - cut into 15mm cubes
- 3-4 Eggs
- Vegetables oil
- Seasonings - Salt and ground Black Pepper
- 3/4 c grated cheese
- 1 T finely chopped Parsley
- 1/2 c vegetables - cooked peas, finely chopped red capsicum, blanched broccoli, diced onion (sauteed), spinach leaves, cooked corn, chopped spring onion, left over roasted vegetables etc.

Cooking Method:

1. Heat 2T oil in frying pan on a meduim heat. Add diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, turning carefully until potato cubes begin to lightly brown. Do not over cook. Remove pan from heat.

2. In a medium sized bowl whisk the eggs and the seasonings. Add the hot cooked potato cubes, the other (warmed if possible) cooked vegetables, parsley and 1/4 c of the cheese and gently stir to combine.

3. Put pan back on to a medium heat with 1-2t of oil. Once heated, pour in the egg, potato and vegetables mixture, shaking pan gently to avoid mixture sticking.

4. Turn heat to medium low and cook for  5-7 minutes until mixture is golden underneath and nearly set. 

5. Sprinkle with remaining grated cheese.

6. Place pan under hot grill (Do not burn handle of pan) for 2-3 minutes until top is golden.

7. Cut into wedges or how you like, serve and enjoy.

Here are some photos of the cooking process and the finished result:
Hope you enjoy.

  1. Hi Anneleise. It is disappointing that you were unable to eat this. However your team provided you with good comments. Changing groups certainly was a good move.
    I like your photos. Maybe next time give each photo a label eg. beaten egg.

  2. Hi Anneleise. A very good blog post with awesome photos and great comments. I agree with Mrs Rhodes about labeling each photo next time. How were the "cold cooked potatoes" prepared for the Frittata - boiled, baked, roasted or microwaved?
