- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
For the Freshness
- 100 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (365°F) or Gas mark 4 to ensure even cooking and a nice golden crust.
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel and slice the potatoes into ⅛-inch rounds for uniform cooking and a tender base.
- Season Potatoes: Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in a greased ceramic baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic granules evenly for flavor.
- Bake Potatoes Covered: Cover the dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes to steam the potatoes until fork-tender.
- Make Egg Mixture: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, add the double or coconut cream, then whisk thoroughly to combine for a creamy texture.
- Assemble Frittata: Remove the cover from the potatoes, pour the egg mixture evenly over them, add halved cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Bake Uncovered: Bake the frittata uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden brown and set.
- Rest and Garnish: Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes after baking, then garnish with fresh basil or parsley before slicing and serving warm.
