This was pretty good. I used 2 cups eggbeaters in place of the egg whites and whole eggs and it turned out well. Good reheated the next day too. Easy to put together and a nice way to use up some sweet potatoes. Thanks for posting!

Made this when we had overnight company & it was thoroughly enjoyed at breakfast! Unless absolutely necessary, I almost never peel the sweet potatoes I use, & didn't in this case either, although I made sure the diced pieces were small! Also used a smallish red bell pepper along with freshly grated parmesan cheese! Very satisfying frittata & a great recipe keeper!
