Prep. Time : 0:45

1/2 bag frozen hash browns OR 1/2 bag frozen chopped potatoes
1 Tbls. vegetable oil
1 Tbls. minced onion
1 Tbls. chives
1/2 tsp. paprika OR cayenne pepper

5-6 eggs - beaten
1 cup grated jack/cheddar cheese
salsa - as needed

-In a large skillet, brown potatoes in oil, not stirring, until golden brown on one side. Gently flip potatoes so uncooked side is on the bottom.
-Sprinkle onion, chives, pepper, salt, garlic powder, and paprika/cayenne over potatoes.
-Sprinkle cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon into pan.
-Reduce heat to lowest setting.
-Pour beaten eggs over top and cover with lid.
-After a couple of minutes, cut slits into the frittata to allow the eggs to seep down and cook.
-When the eggs look cooked, turn heat off, then sprinkle the cheese on top and replace lid so the cheese melts.
-Once cheese is melted, cut the frittata into slices like a pizza and serve with salsa on the side.
