Place diced potatoes in a small saucepan and fill to cover with water.  Bring to a boil and let cook until potato slices are just fork tender.  Drain and set aside.

Preheat the oven to Broil.

In a 9-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add onions and let cook until soft and lightly browned.  Add zucchini, red pepper and potatoes, and let cook a couple more minutes.  Pour in the tofu mixture and turn heat to medium-low.  Turn the contents of the skillet a few times with a spatula until all vegetables are coated.  Add chopped basil – if using.  Smooth the top with the spatula and decorate with tomato slices. – if using.  Let it cook for 15 minutes.

Place the skillet under the broiler and let cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned.

Check it every 2 minutes to be sure it doesn’t burn. 

Remove the frittata from the hat and garnish with basil leaves.  Let set for at least 20 minutes before serving.
