Steps

1

Peel the potatoes.
2

Cut the potatoes and place them in a bowl of water.
3

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and add the potatoes.
4

Add salt and cook until golden brown.
5

Once cooked, set the potatoes aside.
6

Now prepare the artichokes: clean them by removing the tough outer leaves.
7

Fill a bowl with cold water and squeeze in the lemon juice to prevent the artichokes from browning. Keep the artichoke hearts and slice them.
8

Heat olive oil in a skillet, drain the artichokes, and add them to the pan.
9

Add a little salt and cook until golden brown.
10

Once cooked, set the artichokes aside.
11

Meanwhile, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside.
12

In a nonstick skillet, add a little olive oil and arrange a layer of fried potatoes.
13

Add a layer of artichokes on top of the potatoes.
14

Add the cubed mozzarella cheese (about 3.5 ounces/100 grams) on top of the artichokes.
15

Place the skillet on the stove. After five minutes, pour in the beaten eggs and cook.
16

After a few minutes, flip the frittata and cook the other side.
17

Flip the frittata again so the mozzarella melts.
18

When cooked, transfer to a serving plate.
