Hashbrown and Bacon Frittata Recipe

Winter has finally decided to show up in Nevada. I’ve read that you burn more calories when it’s cold and I’m inclined to believe it because after working with the horses, I am cold to the bone and starving.  After doing my last outside chore, blanketing the horses, I want something hearty for dinner, but I don’t want to spend a lot of time making it.

In a perfect world, I would be uber-organized and return to the house to a simmering crock pot of chili.  Instead I quickly throw together a frittata and enjoy standing before the stove as the broiler heats up.  A frittata made with hashbrowns and bacon is fast and easy comfort food – perfect for this disorganized mama on a chilly night.

    I hate to be the only one to ask a dumb question but here goes. Are these already cooked potatoes?

    I love most any kind of potato. I almost never order hashbrowns when we eat breakfast out because I’ll eat the entire portion. I’ll also eat the rest of anyone elses who didn’t finish.

    I still haven’t tried making a frita. It looks simply and comforting. Yum! I will have to make this soon.

    Just wish we would get some real snow here in the valley! My kids want it so badly.

    Mmm that looks TASTY! I am a big frittata fan because it comes together quickly and I’m too lazy to make the crust for a quiche. 😉

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
