In 1975, I took a trip to Spain to visit my nephew who was in the Air Force. While touring the small towns and villages, we could always buy a fresh slice of potato frittata. It was so tasty and filling, I just had to make my own version of it when I returned home!

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled, quartered and sliced
1 cup chopped onion
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup diced fully cooked ham or cooked bulk pork sausage
10 large eggs
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
3 slices Velveeta, cut diagonally

Directions

In a 10- or 12-in. skillet, saute potatoes, onion and green pepper in oil until potatoes are tender. Add the meat and heat through.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, paprika, salt and pepper. Pour over potato mixture. Do not stir. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes or until eggs are nearly set.
Broil 6 in. from the heat for 2 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Arrange cheese slices on top; let stand 5 minutes before serving.
