Mexican Potato Frittata

I have been dreaming of potato recipes again, like this Mexican Potato Frittata. Little potatoes are so easy to work with, especially when they are from The Little Potato Company. I love that they come pre-washed and are ready to roll when you are. A quick large dice and into the fry pan they go. I browned them first to a lovely caramelized colour then put the lid on to finish the cooking, this worked fabulous for this recipe. Ken was loving the extra delicious flavour that was added to them being pan fried first.

This recipe has been in my head for awhile, mulling around with eggs, cheese, salsa and of course little potatoes!! Look at the lovely brown crust that you can get on the potatoes!! The cheese floated to the top even when added right into the eggs, creating a cheesy delicious topping all on its’ own.

I don’t use a non-stick pan as I have yet to find one that works with my induction cooktop. The frittata did work well as it just lifted right out of the pan though, as you can see in the next photo!

Little potatoes are not only easy to work with but they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre. Also called Creamer potatoes, they have more potassium than bananas,
broccoli, or Brussels sprouts.

For this recipe I used Blushing Belles, gorgeous fresh red skinned Creamer potatoes. Creamer potatoes are buttery tasting but are naturally fat free, sodium free, cholesterol free, gluten free and only 90 calories per serving!! There are other fun varietals too that are great to add color into recipes like the Terrific Trio that I used in this fabulous recipe for Roasted Cinnamon Little Potatoes and Pumpkin!

Great fall flavors can be found here with an easy recipe and one that everyone will love because they are roasted!! Great with turkey, ham, beef and pork for all your holiday dinners.

Cheesy, potatoey (?not a word), eggy, this dish will be a winner with everyone in the family. It also can be made from breakfast to dinner. We had it as a great lunch the day I made it!! Also it kept well in the refrigerator for scrumptious leftovers!!
