Potato, Ham, and Spinach Frittata
Jonny Valiant
Our Potato, Ham, and Spinach Frittata, served with a quick and easy side salad, is one of those truly anytime meals. Cook it for breakfast or brunch when you’ve got houseguests, or make it for a hearty, healthy dinner (and keep a few slices for leftover lunches). It’s satisfying no matter what time of day. And while our recipe calls for potatoes, onion, frozen spinach, cheddar, and deli ham, you can mix it up to your family’s taste, substituting other cheese, deli meats, fresh spinach, and even other vegetables, sautéed with the onions at the very beginning. Flexible, in terms of timing, and very versatile.
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 400° F. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and onion and cook, tossing occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix in the spinach, Cheddar, and ham.
Step 3
Add the egg mixture to the skillet, stir once, and transfer the skillet to oven. Cook until the eggs are set, 12 to 14 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, the remaining tablespoon of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the lettuce and toss to coat. Serve with the frittata.

This recipe is delicious. Only took one pan for all the ingredients I did use fresh spinach because it was easier and I prefer it and it came out lovely. Used Welsh Cheddar which is stronger so used only a few tablespoons. Took longer to bake as I believe my iron skillet is smaller than the one shown, and therefore deeper. Served a family of 5. When I moved the skillet to top of oven the eggs seemed to set up faster.

Tasty, foolproof recipe. I've made this several times, generally as written, sometimes substituting ingredients. These particular ingredients are a delicious combination and make an extremely easy dinner. As for calories, everything in moderation (except meth, of course). Have a small slice and a large helping of salad, no bread. Live a little and still fit in your bikini!

This was terrific. I made it for breakfast. I used sweet potatoes, fresh swiss chard and leftover cubed ham and it turned out perfect. Quick and easy! Delicious flavor!

This was delicious. My whole family loved it. If you are worried about calories and fat content, leave out the yolks or use an egg substitute; use less cheese or a reduced fat cheese; and omit the ham or replace it with turkey.

Made this for dinner tonight and used sweet potatoes, since I had no russets, and I used cubed ham that I had in the freezer. It was excellent. The whole family loved it!

I made this for my husband and myself -- the food processor made it relatively easy and we both enjoyed it. I will say that I disagree with the number of servings; I made a half recipe and we could have easily fed four people with that.

I haven't made this and won't because, although it may be marginally "low-calorie", it is FAR from being healthy! It has 32 grams of fat per serving! I'm a Weight Watchers member and get 26 points a day. This dish along would use up 13 points or half of my daily points! I'm really disappointed in Real Simple for labeling it as "low-calorie".
