The joy and comforting sense of warmth and familiarity I get every time I prepare and savor my Caraway Leaf and Potato Frittata recipe can’t be overstated. Born and raised in New Jersey, I find my culinary style a reflection of my Italian-American heritage, inherited from my beloved Italian grandparents.
Food That Nourishes The Body and Soul
Just like my favorite spaghetti and meatballs, this vegetable-based frittata is more than just a dish—it’s an ode to family traditions, nourishing both body and soul. Bursting with nutritious ingredients like caraway leaves, potatoes, and onions, it’s a hearty meal that not only fills your belly but also provides a good dose of vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Caraway, for instance, is known for its digestive benefits and is also rich in antioxidants.
From My Family Table to Yours
This Caraway Leaf and Potato Frittata adds a touch of creativity to the traditional Italian omelet, or frittata. If you’re a fan of potato and mushroom frittatas, then you’ll find a familiar comfort in this dish, with the addition of the distinctive flavor of caraway leaves.
Serve it with a crisp, green salad, fresh from the market, or with a slice of warm, crusty bread from your local bakery, and you have a complete meal. The taste and aroma of this frittata transport you to a warm family gathering around the table, evoking fond memories and feelings that only food made with love and tradition can give.
As a grandfather, family traditions, especially those surrounding food, are very dear to me. Cooking and eating together are activities that bridge generations, strengthen ties, and create lasting memories. My Caraway Leaf and Potato Frittata is more than just a dish to me—it’s a piece of my heart that I’m sharing with you. So, from my table to yours, buon appetito!
What You’ll Need
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup of fresh caraway leaves
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Method
Step One
Start by heating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will allow for the frittata to cook evenly and thoroughly.
Step Two
Take a large oven-proof skillet and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add in the diced potatoes. Cook until they’re browned and crisp, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step Three
Next, add the slices of onion and the finely chopped garlic to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring until the ingredients are softened.
Step Four
While the potatoes and onions are cooking, whisk together your eggs, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Step Five
Take the caraway leaves and add them to the skillet. Stir them until they’re wilted and then spread the mixture evenly in the pan.
Step Six
Pour the whisked eggs over the potato and caraway leaf mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
Step Seven
Move the skillet into your preheated oven. Allow the frittata to bake for around 15 minutes or until the center is set and the edges have started to turn golden brown.
Step Eight
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for a few minutes. Once cooled, slice it into servings. The Caraway Leaf and Potato Frittata is best served warm. Enjoy!
