Olive Potato Frittata

Makes: 4 servings Start to Finish  20 Min's

Ingredients

2  tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil

2  medium potatoes (such as long white, round white, round red, or yellow), thinly sliced (2 cups)
1  medium onion, cut into thin wedges (I used green onion)
2  cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8  eggs
2  tablespoons snipped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 cup sliced pitted ripe olives (I did not use olives)
1/4 cup finely shredded provolone or Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. In a 10-inch broiler-proof or regular skillet heat oil; add potatoes, onion, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn potato mixture with a spatula. Cover and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more or until potatoes are tender, turning mixture once more.

 2. In a medium mixing bowl beat together eggs, oregano, and the remaining salt. Pour egg mixture over hot potato mixture. Sprinkle with olives. Cook over medium heat. As the mixture sets, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting egg mixture to allow the uncooked portion to flow underneath. Continue cooking and lifting edges until egg mixture is almost set (the surface will be moist).

3. Place the broiler-proof skillet under broiler 4 to 5 inches from the heat. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until top is set. (Or, if using regular skillet, remove the skillet from the heat; cover and let stand for 3 to 4 minutes or until the top is set.) Sprinkle the top with finely shredded provolone or Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. To serve, cut frittata into wedges.

I did not know how to make Frittata, so I made it scramble Fran style.  It still tasted fine and we enjoyed it.

I was finally able to go back to work this last Saturday.  I have to go to the lab and give them one more sample.  I hope that I am done with being sick.  I am finally able to eat right.  I am no longer freezing at night!!! 

Dan had a nice time on his trip to Montana.  I was glad that he was able to go.  He said that he enjoyed the train ride.  They had only one day of real hot weather up in the 90’s.  Other wise it wasn’t that hot.  I would not have like it. 

This week Dan had three days off.  One of those days I have to go to the lab.  We are thinking about going on a hike and going to the ocean.  It sounds like fun to me. 

Talked to Don about getting a new TV.  He gave me some good advice.  He also had a cure CD which I gave back to him.  (I already had the CD)  Plus I don’t want to start all that stuff again.  I hope it is not going to start up again.  His taste in music is nothing like ours. 

I guess I am not going to be able to put any pictures on my blog until I get a new phone.  It is to much of a hassle to use his camera.  He is going to have to break down sooner or later and get new phones.
