History of Frittata

​

The history of frittata is a bit of a scrambled journey (pun intended!):

• Ancient Roots: There’s evidence of similar egg-based dishes with cheese and vegetables in ancient Rome, suggesting a long history in the Mediterranean region.
• Possible Persian Influence: Some theories suggest the frittata might have arrived in Italy from ancient Persia, where a dish called “kuku” shares similarities.
• Italian Staple: The word “frittata” itself comes from the Italian verb “friggere” meaning “fried.” Over time, frittata became a popular and versatile dish throughout Italy, often made with readily available ingredients.
• Global Spread: While similar dishes exist worldwide (Spanish tortilla, French omelette), frittata gained recognition as a distinct Italian variation in the mid-20th century. Today, it’s enjoyed worldwide for its simplicity and deliciousness.

Types of potatoes you can use.

Russet potatoes are the most common type of potato used for mashed potatoes. They have a high starch content, which gives them a light and fluffy texture when mashed. They are also relatively inexpensive, making them a popular choice for home cooks.

Yukon Gold potatoes have a slightly lower starch content than Russet potatoes, but they still make light and fluffy mashed potatoes. They also have a buttery flavor that makes them extra delicious.

Yellow Finn potatoes are a good all-purpose potato that can be used for mashed potatoes, as well as other dishes like French fries and baked potatoes. They have a medium starch content and a slightly nutty flavor.

Red potatoes are a waxy potato, which means they have a lower starch content than Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. This makes them less likely to become gluey when mashed. Red potatoes also have a slightly sweet flavor that can be nice in mashed potatoes.

Waxy potatoes are a good choice for mashed potatoes if you want a dish that is less likely to become gluey. Waxy potatoes have a lower starch content than starchy potatoes, so they hold their shape better when mashed. Some popular waxy potatoes for mashed potatoes include red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes.

Starchy potatoes are a good choice for mashed potatoes if you want a dish that is light and fluffy. Starchy potatoes have a higher starch content than waxy potatoes, so they break down more easily when mashed. Some popular starchy potatoes for mashed potatoes include Russet potatoes, Idaho potatoes, and Maris Piper potatoes.

No matter what type of potato you choose, make sure to cook them until they are soft before mashing. This will help to ensure that your mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy.
