instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes. Set them aside.

    2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fork-tender and start to turn golden.

    3

    While the potatoes are cooking, chop the bell pepper and onion.

    4

    Add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the potatoes and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened.

    5

    In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and add the salt and black pepper. Whisk them together until well combined.

    6

    Once the vegetables are cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over them in the skillet. Gently stir to combine.

    7

    Allow the frittata to cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, until the eggs are set around the edges but still slightly runny in the middle.

    8

    Preheat your oven to broil. Once the frittata is set, transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and fully set.

    9

    Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (it will be hot!) and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

    10

    Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished if desired.
