Add the potatoes and fry them for 6 to 8 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned, turning occasionally.

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and stir into the egg mixture. Add the basil.Put the pancetta back into the pan with the potatoes and pour in the egg mixture. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the frittata is browned and puffed and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve hot.
