Ingredients

15 ml olive oil, plus extra if needed
2 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1.25 ml smoked paprika, or to taste
1 sweet Spanish onion, thinly sliced
6 eggs
5 ml olive oil
1 bunch fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
15 ml olive oil

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).
Step 2
Heat 15 ml olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat until it glistens. Add the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Pan-fry the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and onion are lightly browned and the onion is translucent, about 10 more minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with 5 ml of olive oil. Stir in the parsley, then add the potato-onion mixture and lightly combine.
Step 5
Heat 15 ml of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat until it glistens. Gently spoon the egg-potato mixture into the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and shake the skillet a few times to help release the frittata from the bottom. Slide the skillet into the preheated oven.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until the frittata is puffed and the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the frittata should come out clean. Cut into wedges and serve.
