The quest for healthy post-partum eats continues!  I don’t know how we’ve managed to swing it, but I swear that we’ve all been eating better in the two weeks since Claire was born than in the months before.  Too bad I can’t say the same for sleep…  One battle at a time, right?

Over the weekend, DadHTP stopped by just as I was pulling this dish out of the oven.  Served with a simple salad, this was the perfect lunch for the whole family.

This reminds me of Quiche Cornbread (still one of my favorite all-time crowd-pleasing recipes – but the grand prize goes to Santa Fe Casserole). Instead of a cornbread base, this recipe features roasted potatoes.  If you make the potatoes ahead of time for another meal, this dish is super fast and easy to prepare.  We *always* have leftover potatoes in the fridge, so it came together in no time!

Alternatively, you could use a frozen potato, like this kind from Alexa.  Just bake the tots for 15 minutes or so before adding the other ingredients.

I used a tablespoon of onion dip mix for flavoring, but if onion isn’t your thing, you should skip the spice entirely (it would still be good!) or try a touch of cayenne pepper.

Cheesy Potato Frittata

Ingredients (for about three – four servings, depending on your slices):

• 1 and 1/2 cup pre-roasted Russet potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1 and 1/2 cup raw baby spinach, shredded into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional: 1 tablespoon onion dip mix
• 6 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 and grease a cast-iron baking dish (or a glass pie dish).
• Spread out chopped potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish.
• On the stovetop on medium, quickly wilt the spinach with the olive oil and spices.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and spinach.  Pour over the potatoes.
• Top with shredded cheese.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until golden on top.
• Serve and enjoy!

This would be an awesome holiday buffet dish.  It would pair reaaaaally well with a warm cinnamon bun (but wouldn’t everything?).

Hope you had a fabulous and healthy weekend, too!
