Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil divided
1/3 cup red pepper diced
1/3 cup russet potatoes peeled and diced
1/3 cup half of a fully-cooked gluten free sweet Italian sausage diced
1/3 cup onion diced
6 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon parsley
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of your oil in your oven safe skillet. Stir in diced potatoes coating them with the oil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a dish and set aside.
1/3 cup russet potatoes
Add another tablespoon of oil to your pan. Add sausage, onion, and peppers. Stir to coat with the oil and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent. Transfer to the dish with the potatoes.
1/3 cup red pepper, 1/3 cup half of a fully-cooked gluten free sweet Italian sausage, 1/3 cup onion
Whisk eggs until they are foamy and well scrambled. Then stir in the previously sautéed ingredients and seasonings.
6 eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon parsley
Now heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil plus 2 tablespoons of butter in your skillet and coat the bottom and sides.
2 tablespoons butter
Pour egg mixture into the hot pan, cover, and cook for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile preheat your broiler on low
Uncover your skillet and place the oven safe skillet under the broiler about 7 inches from the heat source, until the top is golden brown and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Cut into slices and serve immediately.

Notes

I used a cast-iron skillet to make this frittata, but I have also used this oven safe skillet.
Frittatas pack well so you can bring a few slices on a picnic or bring a slice to work for lunch.
Frittatas are also an excellent make-ahead dish! Just refrigerate in an airtight container for up to four days. And heat them up when you want to serve.
Frittatas are a great way to use up leftovers. Try this recipe for Italian frittata or let your imagination take over and create your own combination.
