Yuk!

Sorry for the lack of posts recently.  My third attack of stomach flu made me quite quit food for a few days but I seem to be better now and I hope I will not have to deal with this particular bug again!  Every dish in the house went through the dishwasher so I hope I got the bugger!!

Now, where was I?

Ah, yes, dinner.

Tonight, I had the priviledge of feeding my not-quite-four-year-old grandson.  He used to eat anything and everything but has become a bit picky, mostly to annoy his mom, I'm sure.  However, eggs, cheese, potatoes and sausage are OK with him so tonight: fritatta.

Fritatta

4 potatoes, peeled and shredded ala hash browns
3-4 ounces pizza topping sausage
4 - 6 eggs
2 cups shredded cheddar
olive oil
milk

Heat olive oil in large skillet.  Add shredded potatoes, separating them into four quarter-shaped piles.  Press into skillet with spatula.  Cook potatoes until crispy, turning once.

Beat eggs with milk.  Pour over potatoes.  Sprinkle with sausage.  Cover and cook 3 to 5 minutes.  Flip and cook on other side until eggs are set.

Spread top with cheese.  Cover and cook til melted. 

By splitting the potatoes into quarters at the beginning, it is much easier to flip the parts over when needed.  I usually start out on high heat and turn it down to medium when I add the eggs.  The pizza topping is from Gordon's Food Service and is about half soy, half pork.  Since I'm mildly allergic to pork and it upsets my stomach if I eat too much, this is just fine with me!!  :-)  I use it on pizza, too. 

My grandson loved this and ate most of it.  Even my extremely picky daughter liked it!  Wow!
