1-Ingredient Potato Frittata

It’s the end of the week and you basically have nothing in your kitchen except potatoes. Here’s the only one-ingredient recipe you need. OK, fine. This frittata recipe calls for four ingredients, but you always have salt, pepper, and olive oil on hand, so they basically don’t count. A few potatoes and a mandoline (the best kitchen gadget for quick slicing) will yield a crispy frittata that’s half french fry, half potato gratin, and 100 percent breakfast.

Slice the potatoes using a mandoline, but don’t wash them—it’s the starchy potato that keeps this frittata intact. Cook the potatoes in whichever fat you prefer: olive oil, butter, bacon fat, or, if you’re on a health kick, coconut oil. Layer the slices in your pan and cook low and slow to ensure the potatoes have cooked all the way through. If the heat is too high, the crust will burn before the inside is done all the way. When the middle is almost cooked (stick a knife under the layers to get a good peak), crank up the heat to get a nice golden brown crust on both sides. Serve this one-ingredient frittata recipe with a sprinkling of salt and pepper and dunk into ketchup or the breakfast condiment of your choice.
