Pop-Pop's Peppers and Eggs: Pepper, Potato, and Onion Frittata

Pop-Pop's Peppers and Eggs: Pepper, Potato and Onion Frittata

I don't remember my pop-pop cooking a lot, but the few times I do remember he was making "peppers and eggs". The contents of this omelette or frittata really depended on what he had available. Usually the peppers were from his garden that he grew in the back "yard" of his row home in South Philly, sometimes he threw in tomatoes also grown out back. My favorite preparation was with red onion, red and green pepper, potato and a little grated cheese.

Tips: You can get as creative as you would like with this recipe. I added 1/2 cup chopped broccoli because I had it. You could add meats, other vegetables or cheeses etc. You also could make as an omelette or scrambled egg dish. 

Buon Appettito!
