Fritatta with Potatoes and Black Olives

Food Network Canada
Yields
4 servings

Frittata is just a version of a Spanish omelette. You start cooking the frittata on the stove and finish cooking it in the oven or under the broiler. Usually boiled potatoes are added to a frittata but to make this a speedy supper and save time, grated potatoes are sautéed in the pan just before adding the eggs. Substitute your favourite cheese for the goat cheese.
