instructions
    1

    Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

    2

    Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are golden and tender.

    3

    While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the asparagus. Trim the ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces.

    4

    After the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the onion becomes soft.

    5

    Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and stir for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

    6

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs, adding salt and pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.

    7

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the eggs are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.

    8

    For a nice finish, you can place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to brown the top lightly.

    9

    Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the frittata sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
