Instructions:

Prepare Skillet: Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.

Cook Potatoes: Add potatoes and sauté until brown and tender, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Season Potatoes: Sprinkle with rosemary, season with salt and pepper, and then transfer to a bowl, setting them aside.

Prepare Spinach: Wipe out the skillet. Wash and stem the spinach, then place it in a saucepan over medium heat. Cover and steam until the spinach is tender, about 2 minutes.

Drain Spinach: Transfer the cooked spinach to a colander and allow it to cool slightly. Once cooled, squeeze out all excess water and chop the spinach finely.

Preheat Broiler: Preheat the broiler to high heat.

Prepare Skillet (Again): Place the skillet over medium-low heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the egg mixture to the skillet.

Cook Frittata: Cook the frittata slowly until the bottom is set, stirring occasionally. This should take approximately 10 minutes. The top may still be slightly liquid at this stage.

Broil: Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the top is just set. Be sure to keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
