I tried this recipe after seeing it in a newspaper article. There was a higher fat version and lower fat version. This was the lower fat version I tried. It is very good!
Ingredients:
1 lb tiny new potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 large eggs
1 (15 ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
8 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese, grated (2 percent)
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and place in a 3-quart pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches and bring to a boil over moderately high heat; add salt.
2. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender but not falling apart, 20-25 minutes.
3. Drain in a colander and when just cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and arrange rack in center of oven.
5. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet (if the handle is not ovenproof, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil) over moderate heat until hot but not smoking.
6. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
7. Whisk together flour, chives, baking powder and pepper in a bowl.
8. Whisk together eggs and cheeses in another bowl until well combined; whisk in flour mixture.
9. Pour egg mixture over potatoes and bake until firm and puffy, about 45 minutes.
10. Let cool 5 minutes.
11. Run a small knife around edge of frittata and gently slide onto a platter.
12. Serve warm.
