This basil-laced potato and vegetable frittata, adapted from a recipe by author Tamasin Day-Lewis, makes a satisfying lunch. From: Saveur SERVES 8

1 lb. medium waxy potatoes
¼ cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small red bell pepper, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cups baby spinach
3 tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp. thinly sliced basil
8 eggs, beaten

1. Boil 1" water in a 4-qt. saucepan fitted with a steamer insert. Steam potatoes, covered, adding more boiling water as needed, until tender, 1 hour. Let cool, then peel and thinly slice.

2. Heat oven broiler. Heat oil in an ovenproof 12" nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, pepper, and onion until soft, 3–4 minutes. Add spinach; cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in reserved potatoes, the butter, salt, and pepper. Stir in half the basil and the eggs and reduce heat to medium; cook until golden on the bottom, 8–10 minutes. Broil until set and golden on top, about 3 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil.
