I wasn't really expecting this recipe to "knock my socks off" -- but it did!!!! We really enjoyed this. I used the "Simply Potatos" -- the fresh ones that come already shredded in the green plastic bag -- and they were perfect. I followed the recipe except that I did add a little bit of chopped green bell pepper. I didn't measure the ham, so I might have been a little "heavy handed" on it. In place of the cream, I used fat free half & half. I just halved the recipe and made it in a pie plate. It was great for the 2 of us -- we had the leftovers for breakfast today -- plus had two pieces to share with our neighbors. I can see that there are a lot of possibilities for this as far as ingredient substitutions. I look forward to trying some. Thanks, Carol -- we loved the frittata.
