This recipe makes 8 to 10 servings. #### Potato Frittata Casserole  ##### Ingredients: One large onion, diced 8-10 small red or yellow potatoes, diced, or 6-8 medium Idaho potatoes, diced 1 or 2 sliced bell peppers, any color 1 to 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 & 1/2 tsp dried thyme 1/2 tsp pepper 10 eggs, lightly beaten (in a large mixing bowl) Olive oil for sautéing Cheese of your choice for topping off the casserole (crumbled feta or crumbled goat cheese are perfect, found in 4 oz containers in the deli; or use grated cheddar cheese) ##### Directions:  Preheat oven to 400°. In a large frying pan, sauté diced potatoes on stovetop in olive oil until fairly soft, then add onion, and bell peppers, along with salt (start with 1 tsp, add more later if desired), thyme, & 1/4 tsp pepper. Continue to simmer until vegetables are at a suitable “crunchiness” for your preference. Taste to adjust seasonings.  Remove the frying pan from the burner and stir for 5 minutes to cool mixture. Add the potato and vegetables mixture to the beaten eggs and stir well to coat, then pour into a large glass baking dish. Top with cheese of your choice, and bake in 400° oven for 15-20 minutes (until top is browned and eggs are set). Let casserole cool at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.   [![Download a printable copy of this recipe](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/275132/8ab942f6-cb5e-4424-8c8e-a13dfa3d9e5c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/275132/8ab942f6-cb5e-4424-8c8e-a13dfa3d9e5c)   > [Click to tweet: > A simplified version of a breakfast-for-dinner favorite for #MeatlessFriday. #catholicmom](https://ctt.ac/S5aOZ) If you’re a bit silly, like me, you can sing this song I “made up,” while you saute (sung to the tune of "Hakuna Matata," from the original *Lion King* movie, copyright 1994, Walt Disney Pictures) Your kids will love it.  “Potato Fritatta! What a wonderful phrase. Potato Fritatta, ain’t no passing craze. It means no meat, because it’s a Friday. It’s our sacrifice philosophy ... potato frittata!”   ![potato frittata on a plate with strawberries on the side](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20220401%20CRack%202.jpg?width=1080&name=20220401%20CRack%202.jpg) --- Copyright 2022 Charlene Rack Images copyright 2022 Charlene Rack, all rights reserved. ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-potato-frittata-casserole%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-potato-frittata-casserole%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-potato-frittata-casserole%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Meatless%20Friday%3A%20Potato%20Frittata%20Casserole) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-potato-frittata-casserole%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2Fmeatless-friday-potato-frittata-casserole%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Charlene Rack](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Charlene%20Rack%202.jpg) ### [Charlene Rack](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/charlene-rack) Charlene Rack grew up in the "heartland," moved south to Cincinnati, married a Catholic man, converted to Catholicism, and had three children.
