Instructions:
- Begin by chopping the hot Italian sausage into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the chopped sausage. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
- Once the sausage is cooked, transfer it to a bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving any drippings in the skillet.
- In the same skillet with the sausage drippings, add the frozen O’Brien potatoes. Cook them for 15-20 minutes over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, and freshly ground pepper in a separate bowl until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are browned, reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the potatoes in the skillet.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture over the sausage and potatoes, ensuring that it spreads evenly across the skillet.
- Cook the frittata for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the bottom to set and the edges to slightly firm up.
- Preheat the broiler in your oven.
- To finish cooking the frittata, place the skillet under the broiler, ensuring it is positioned about 5 inches away from the heat source.
- Broil the frittata for about 3 minutes, or until it is cooked through and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Once done, carefully remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts, as the handle will be hot.
- Optionally, cover the skillet handle with foil to prevent burns.
- Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing it into wedges and serving.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the Sausage and Potato Frittata hot, straight from the skillet, for a comforting breakfast or brunch option.
- Pair it with a side of fresh fruit salad or sliced avocado for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the frittata.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
