Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, frittatas are always the answer to a quick and healthy meal option, and this healthy potato saffron frittata is no exception.
There are few foods that you can eat any time of the day, frittata being one of them. They’re so easy to throw together – essentially all you need are eggs and some cheese, but healthy add-ins like vegetables take them to another level. There’s no doubt I am a fan of frittatas. I love experimenting with different ingredients and creating a variety of flavour combinations. Another reason to make frittatas? They can be served cold, warmed, or at room temperature they taste even better the next day, meaning they make for ideal leftovers.
When it comes to consuming ready-to-expire veggies in the crisper, I have frittatas to thank for not being wasteful. Besides using up produce before it spoils, they require little to no prep, and minimal creativity. If you have eggs and some cheese, you can make a frittata. The additional ingredients are sometimes an afterthought, depending on what is lingering the fridge. And if you only have some eggs and cheese on hand, then you are good to go since even these three simple ingredients still result in a delicious dish. Once you learn the basics of the preparation – in this case stove-top preparation, adding on ingredients and experimenting with different flavours is a cinch. Have a go at creating interesting flavour combos, like zucchini and chorizo, kale and feta, or in this case potato and saffron.

Key to good cooking.. needs more saffron. 🙂
Yep! I try to add it in any recipe…except I need to be stingy since it’s so expensive 😉
This potato and saffron frittata looks like the perfect meal I would like to wake up to. Industrial products have really improved when it comes to the kitchen. I bet a zucchini and feta combination would be lovely.
Frittata kinda reminds me of quiche a little. I’ve never made it but it sounds easy enough. Hopefully it tastes as good as yours look though! ha! ha!
Wow, This is really looks good and I want to try this and I’m sure my husband would love this too perfect for our breakfast or dinner. Glad that you share this recipe
The best is breakfast for dinner!
This would make the perfect brunch dish! My husband loves making frittatas but I don’t think he’s ever made one with potatoes and/or saffron. What a wonderful combination!
The looks and sounds sooooo good! I love frittatas, but I have never tried it with saffron. I love saffron rice, so I’m sure I will love it in a frittata. Wouldn’t this be the perfect brunch dish on Sunday morning or a light dinner Sunday afternoon? Can’t wait to try it!
I love adding a touch of saffron everywhere…but I always have to be careful about how much I use it seeing as it costs and arm and a leg 😉
We are growing tired of cold cereal for breakfast. Even a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon is getting old. I can’t wait to make this for my family.
This looks amazing. I think this would be the perfect breakfast for dinner recipe. Even my husband would enjoy it even though he is not a breakfast lover. I on the other hand could eat breakfast foods every day for every meal.
This sounds like it tastes like pure heaven. I’ve never had Potato Saffron Frittata, but I know it would make a great dish for our family Friday night. This, with a movie and our night will be a huge hit!
I love breakfast for supper and this frittata recipe sounds perfect! I also love the fact that there is no milk in this recipe. It makes a great meal for my child who cannot have milk.
This looks really good. I will have to try this out as I am tired of eating quiche!
This looks amazing! I’ve never made a frittata before. We have friends coming over for brunch in a couple week. I will be making this!
Dang girl! This looks all too good! My mom always makes me frittatas on the weekend and I will for sure have to show her this recipe so she can whip it up for me. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Ashley!
