i've been staring at these adorable litlte potatoes in our fridge for over a week....
one night, i thought of just tossing them with some olive oil, salt and pepper and rosemary and roasting them. but that seemed really unbalanced though probably would be a tasty carboriffic dinner.
instead, this morning i was sipping mischas strong and delicious coffee that showed up exactly when i woke up (thanks nelzo!), when i thought frittata time!
first i warmed up a smallish skillet to around medium heat with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic oil and some cooking spray before adding 3 of those little potatoes sliced paper thin:
these cooked about 3 minutes on each side and then i removed from the pan. next came 1/2 a diced shallot and 1/4 teaspoon of diced garlic and a HUGE handful of spinach:
which in about 5 mintues time, cooked down to this weensy pile:
also removed from the pan to cook up a slice of turkey:
while this sort of toasted up, i whisked together two eggs, a splash of milk and a dash of pretty much every italian spice i had on hand, so rosemary, basil, oregano, thyme and red pepper flake:
by the time i was done whisking, the turkey had crisped a bit so i poured the eggs into the pan, and added the spinach and potatoes back in as well:
the whole frittata cooked up for almost 10 minutes on medium heat before i was able to really get my spatula fully underneath it and the eggs had settled.
served with a good dose of parmesan of course. what is a meal without cheese? i cut this up into wedges and shoveled down as i was getting ready this morning. i always, always eat breakfast, but making something portable is very helpful and i need to be real as i basically sleep as i long as i can, leaving me about 18 minutes to get ready and get out the door. this also could be good cold, maybe i'll make a big one this weekend and bring the leftover slices as my lunch next week. hmmmmm.
