Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Peel the potatoes and slice thinly (about 1/4 inch thick) using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, or cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Place the cut potatoes into a bowl and cover them with salted water. Soak for about 15 minutes.
- Slice the onion thinly.
- In a large, deep, nonstick, ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until the onion is soft, fragrant, and turning golden.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the bowl.
- Add the potatoes to the onion in the skillet.
- Cover and cook the potatoes over low heat until tender, stirring occasionally to keep them from sticking to the pan and burning.
- In the reserved large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Pour the cream and egg mixture over the potatoes and onion in the skillet. Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the eggs and potatoes, if using.
- Cook the mixture over low heat until the eggs seem mostly set, being careful not to burn them, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Carefully flip the frittata by turning a plate upside down over the skillet.
- Turn the skillet over so the frittata falls onto the now right-side-up plate.
- Slide the frittata from the plate back into the skillet so the browned side is facing up and cook over low heat for a few more minutes.
- Cut the tortilla into wedges to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat, and add the onions. Cook the onions for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent. Pour the cooked onions into a large mixing bowl, and return the skillet to the stove.
- Spread the potato slices evenly around the skillet, making sure to season each individual layer of potatoes with a pinch of salt. You will likely have enough potato slices for two layers of potato. Place a lid on the skillet and let the potatoes cook for 10 minutes, until the potato slices are soft and cooked through.
- In the meantime, add the eggs, manchego cheese, heavy cream, and 1/4 tsp salt to the mixing bowl with the cooked onions. Whisk to combine, then pour this mixture all over the cooked potatoes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the center of the frittata no longer jiggles. Cut the frittata into slices, and enjoy!

Perfect for feeding a large crowd, this dish can be left out so everyone can help themselves. It is equally delicious served warm or at room temperature.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Steps:
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the olive oil. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the potato and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue to cook and occasionally stir until the onion and potato are slightly browned, 5 to 6 more minutes.
- Add the eggs and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Swirl them around the pan and lower the heat. When the eggs are set on the side but the top is still loose, place the pan under the broiler for 2 minutes. The frittata will turn slightly golden and puff up before it settles. Cut into wedges to serve. Wrap a wedge in a piece of parchment paper to give someone a portable breakfast bite.
SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA
Spain has one of my favorite omelets made from potatoes, cheese and onions called a "tortilla." Not to be confused with a Mexican tortilla, a Spanish tortilla is like the perfect mash-up of a baked potato and scrambled eggs. The Spanish serve it like an appetizer, but I love making it into an omelet. The key is to season every layer with salt and pepper at each stage. Small yellow potatoes are a bit more work to peel and dice, but they're sweeter than larger russet potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
- Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
- Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.
