Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the oven rack in the upper third.
2
Select a non-stick, oven-safe skillet or pan with sloping sides, ideally 8 inches in diameter.
3
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Pat dry the Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion with a paper towel and add them to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, then remove from the pan and transfer to a mixing bowl.
4
Carefully wipe the pan with a paper towel and return it to the stovetop.
5
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs until frothy. Add the salt, pepper, and milk; mix well. Gently fold in the sautéed potatoes, cumin, crumbled goat cheese, half of the chopped scallions, drained spinach, and crumbled bacon until well combined.
6
Add 1 tablespoon of butter (or oil) to the heated skillet, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan.
7
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. As it cooks, gently push the edges towards the center with a rubber spatula to prevent sticking, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow toward the outside. This technique helps in achieving large, tender curds. After about 5-7 minutes, when the eggs appear mostly set but still slightly wet on top, transfer the pan to the oven.
8
Bake in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the center is fully set. Remove the frittata from the oven and gently run a spatula around the edges to loosen it, then carefully slide it onto a serving plate.
9
Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped scallion tops, and a grind of mixed pepper flakes. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
