Potato-Pepper-Spinach Frittata

Also known as Italian Frying peppers. Cubanelle peppers are large and blocky. They are light green in appearance and they mature red. The thin walls of this pepper make it an excellent choice for frying. This pepper is not hot.

Ingredients:

3 Tbs. olive oil
10 oz. baby Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
10 oz. peppers, such as Cubanelle and Hungarian wax peppers, and poblano and jalapeño chiles
1 large sweet onion, cubed
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 bunch spinach, rinsed, trimmed and chopped
6 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, grated
Pepper slices for garnish, optional

Instructions:

Heat the oil in a large ovenproof or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, and sauté until they begin to brown, for about 10 minutes. Add the peppers, onion and garlic, and sauté for about 7 minutes more, or until the peppers wilt and the onion softens.

Add the spinach, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts.

Beat the eggs well, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in shredded cheese.

Preheat the broiler.

Uncover the skillet, and stir potato mixture. Pour in the eggs, increase the heat to medium-high, tilt the pan and lift the mixture to allow uncooked eggs to run underneath. Stir, and continue cooking for about 5 minutes more.

Broil the frittata for about 1 minute, or until the top browns. Garnish with pepper slices, if desired, and serve at once.

Serves 6.
