Potato Frittata With Caramelized Onions

I’ve been craving a potato frittata lately. Maybe it’s because spring is almost here and that makes me crave brunch food. 😉 This Potato Frittata With Caramelized Onions is perfect for your next brunch or a lazy Sunday!

I actually normally don’t really like frittata because it’s subpar to quiche, in my opinion. I just love the crust on quiche (it’s the best part!), so it’s a big step for me to let go of it on my journey toward a healthier self and family. 

To my surprise, this Potato Frittata With Caramelized Onions turned out SO good that I didn’t even notice that there was no crust! It was delicious as is. My husband absolutely loved it, too!

This Potato Frittata is perfect for a nice event like Easter Brunch or simply for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! It can honestly be eaten at any meal! I recommend making it in advance so you have an easy grab-and-go breakfast for busy weekday mornings.

The frittata is flavorful, filling, and customizable. I added some other veggies to it in addition to the potatoes and onions, like spinach and mushroom, but you can add any of your favorite, seasonal vegetables!

What sets this frittata apart?

This Potato Frittata is not like any other frittatas that I’ve had. The lightly caramelized onions and potato combination, along with nailing the cook time so as to not dry out the eggs, truly sets this frittata apart. 

How to Make Potato Frittata With Caramelized Onions

1. While the oven is preheating, place the diced potatoes, covered in water, in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them for 4 minutes.
2. Sauté onions in olive oil over medium heat in a large pan.
3. When the potatoes are done, drain the water and then add them to the onions. Sauté the onions and potatoes for another 3 minutes and turn off the heat.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together and pour it into the baking dish.
5. Add the onions and potatoes to the eggs, spreading them out evenly throughout the baking dish.
6. Add the spinach, mushrooms, and cheese evenly throughout the dish, making sure the ingredients are pushed below the surface of the whisked eggs.
7. Bake in the oven for approximately 25-27 minutes or until the frittata is very slightly underdone.
