Preparation

How to prepare Potato and Artichoke Frittata

To prepare the frittata, start by cleaning the artichokes, removing the outer and tougher leaves 1, peeling the stem 2 (shortening it if very long), and then trimming the tips 3.

Cut them in half lengthwise. Now remove the choke 4 and scrape any internal tips. Slice the quarters thinly, about a quarter inch 5, and place the artichokes in acidulated water with lemon while you continue with the preparation. Peel the potatoes 6.

Cut them in half and slice them thinly 7. In a non-stick pan, add a splash of oil and flavor the base with a crushed clove of garlic in its skin 8. Add the artichokes 9.

Add the potatoes 10 and a pinch of salt, stir and cook over high heat for 4-5 minutes. Then cover with the lid 11 and continue for another 10-12 minutes at a lower temperature. At this point, the vegetables will be soft and well-cooked and you can remove the garlic. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs with the cheese 12.

Season with a bit of salt 13, pepper, and thyme. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and artichokes 14. Cover with the lid 15 and cook for about 7 minutes.

Use the spatula to compact the frittata and make it well-rounded 16. Flip the frittata and cook it on the other side for about 4-5 minutes 17, without the lid. Finally, slide it onto a serving plate 18 and enjoy it warm or hot.
