Easy, flavorful and delicious! I love this simple frittata so much, I always keep the ingredients handy! It’s great for breakfast or brunch, but feel free to make this anytime, even dinner. My secret is to make this for guests who are trying to cut back on salt. But, still make it taste so good that no one really notices. Potatoes are notorious for needing lots of salt. I do use a tiny bit of salt in the recipe but, you can always let your guests salt at the table and eliminate it from the recipe altogether if you need to go without. Either way, serve hot and enjoy!

Recipe type: Fritatta
Cuisine: Californian
Serves:: Serves:6
Ingredients:
- 2 T Extra Virgin Olive oil
- 30 oz. Frozen Shredded Hash brown Potatoes, ½ package
- 6 Jumbo Eggs, or 8 large
- 1 t Powdered Garlic
- ½ t Powdered Onion
- ½ t Italian Seasoning
- ¼ t Kosher sea salt
- ⅛ t Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ Fresh ripe avocado sliced lengthwise into 12 pieces, to garnish
- ½ C Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 2 T Fresh Chives, finely chopped
- ¼ t Ground Paprika
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven broiler to 500 degrees, moving highest cooking rack to 4-5” below broiler.
- In a 12” non-stick skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat.
- Oil will be hot and spatter, so carefully pour ½ package of frozen hash browns into skillet, evenly spreading layer to about 1” thick and level.
- Cook, covered, for 10-12 minutes, or until outer edge of potatoes is starting to brown.
- Meanwhile, combine eggs and seasonings up to pepper, in a medium bowl and whisk thoroughly until eggs and spices are well mixed.
- Evenly pour egg mixture over hash browns and cover, cooking 5 minutes more, or until most of egg mixture is solid; there will be some egg still liquid on top.
- Sprinkle grated cheese over top of slightly runny egg/hash brown mixture and finish cooking under broiler for another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and eggs barely move when skillet is gently shaken.
- Garnish with chives, avocado slices, and sprinkle with paprika.
