POTATO AND RED PEPPER FRITTATA
This recipe is from Everyday Food. The original recipe calls for 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary. I choose to omit it. Being onion lovers, I added a whole onion rather than 1/2 as the recipe stipulated. NOTE: It's okay if potatoes are not cooked evenly. Some will be browned; others only transparent. The original recipe suggests using an 8-inch skillet.

- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too many ingredients to the skillet, the frittata will be difficult to cook evenly.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help prevent the eggs from burning.
- Flip the frittata halfway through cooking: This will ensure that it is cooked evenly on both sides.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will make it easier to slice and serve.
