cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is more cost-effective for frying.

Wash the potatoes well under running water and chop them into pieces about a half inch square.

Place the potatoes in a single layer on a microwave safe plate and microwave on high for about 2 and a half minutes until tender.

Heat a 10 inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes and stir to coat each piece with oil.

Cook the potatoes on medium-high heat for about 7 to 10 minutes until crispy on the edges.

Grate about 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

Crack 7 eggs into a bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and whisk together.

When the potatoes are nicely browned, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the egg mixture and stir.

Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet and reduce the heat to medium.

Cook until the eggs are set, about 3 to 5 minutes, lifting the edge of the frittata and tipping the pan to allow uncooked eggs to reach the bottom.

Cover the skillet to help the eggs cook on top.

Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the frittata and cover again, cooking until the cheese is melted.

Optionally, pop it under the broiler on high for a minute or two for some color on top.
