Potato and Scallion Frittata

Great Way to Use Leftover Roasted Potatoes!

One of the reasons why I love frittata's is that they are perfect for using up almost any leftover. I've made them with almost everything- pasta, vegetables, sausage, pepperoni, chicken, you name it.
The potato and scallion (or onion) frittata s a classic combination. There is just something about this combo that screams comfort food. I made this a light version by omitting some of the egg yolks but feel free to use the entire egg if you want.


Potato and Scallion Frittata

6 egg whites and 3 egg yolks

1 Tbs. milk
1 Tbs. olive oil
6 scallions, white and lighter green parts only, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 - 2 cups leftover roasted potatoes, sliced
1/4 cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat broiler.

Place oil in a medium oven proof skillet over medium heat; add scallions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until scallions are soft but not brown. Add the potatoes and mix well.

In a large bowl combine the eggs and milk. Add the parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Pour the mixture into the skillet and mix all ingredients. Allow mixture to set for a minute and stir to form large curds. With the top still wet, place the skillet under the broiler for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and let set for 5 on a cooling rack.

Healthier French Fries

If The Idea of Healthy Doesn't Get You- The Color Will!

The combination of russet potatoes and sweet potatoes really works. Roasting white potatoes brings out the starchy flavor and the texture is crispy. When the sweet potatoes are roasted they get caramelized from the sugars cooking... And I love that!
I also love the fact that sweet potatoes are one the best foods you could eat. They are a super health food. Check out the nutrition facts at the World's Healthiest Foods website.


Roasted Sweet and White Potato Steak Fries

3 sweet potatoes, cut into about 1 by 5-inch pieces
3 russet potatoes, cut into about 1 by 5-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the potatos on a foil-lined baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

It's that easy!
