Description

An egg and sweet potato frittata (or something like that) that my hubby loved.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Dried Hot Peppers, Your Choice
  • 4 cups Diced Sweet Potatoes
  • ¾ cups Diced Onion
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 6 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • ¾ cups Grated Cheese Of Your Choice

Preparation

I used a 10″ iron skillet (one with a lid).

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and sweet potatoes. Brown the sweet potatoes over medium heat, stirring often, until they are fork tender.

Put another tablespoon of butter into the pan with the potatoes, let it melt, then add the onion. Cover the pan and let those brown some, then add the garlic. Cover the pan again, and let it all cook over low heat for about 10 minutes. The potatoes with start to get pretty soft.

Pour the beaten eggs over the potatoes. Put the lid on the pan. Turn the stove off for about 10 minutes. This will keep the mixture from burning on the bottom but still allow it to cook. Then turn the stove back on low until the eggs have set on top. Turn the stove off again, add the cheese, and cover the pan again. Wait another 5-10 minutes. Then you are done. You should be able to use a spatula to cut it into pie shaped wedges.

This makes 4 servings.
