POTATO AND EGG FRITTATA

4-5 small to medium size potatoes
4 eggs
oil to coat the bottom and sides of fry pan
salt, pepper and garlic powder

cook potatoes in microwave*, allow to cool and then peel and cut up(about the size of home fries)

beat the eggs well, seasoning with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

coat fry pan (10" pan) with oil and saute potaotes, season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. You just need to lightly brown the potatoes.

Pour eggs over potatoes and as the outer edge of the eggs become cooked, gently push the edge in a little at a time towards center allowing the uncooked eggs to run to the edge (you can lift the pan and swirl around a bit). After doing that a few times, make little openings in the center to allow some uncooked egg to get underneath and be cooked. Take a plate large enough to cover fry pan and place over it, holding the handle of the fry pan with one hand and the other hand firmly on the bottom of the plate thus holding the pan and the plate together, turn the potato and egg onto the plate (DO THIS OVER THE SINK) and slide it back into the fry pan to cook the other side. When done invert onto a clean plate and serve.

*I have found this to be a healthier version than frying the potatoes in alot of oil and it takes less time. I don't think it compromises the flavor very much.

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH POTATOES & PEAS

4-6 chicken thighs (with bones in and skin on)
4 or 5 potatoes
1 can of peas, drained
Salt, pepper, garlic powder

Spray a baking/roasting pan with cooking spray
Place chicken thighs in pan, skin side up
Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder

Roast in 350 degree oven until the skins are browned approx. 15 minutes
turn and cook on the other side 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel potatoes, cut up and put in pot with cold water, season with salt and cook until tender but not completely done. Drain and add to chicken after chicken has been browned on both sides, making sure to turn the potatoes a few times to coat them with the drippings from the chicken.

Add the drained peas and mix again.

Put everything back in the oven and continue to cook for 15 to 20 minutes more or until the chicken is done.
