Clean out the fridge frittata

It's a couple of days before pay day and some of the veggies are getting a little tired. So I decided a frittata was in order. For the most part-this is not a science. Take what's in your fridge and make dinner. Or brunch.

about a tsp of bacon fat (you keep bacon fat in your freezer don't you?)
1/4 red onion, grated
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 medium russet potatoes, grated

Toss this all around in an oven proof skillet until the potatoes start to soften. Sprinkle with parsley, oregano and salt.

about 1/3 of a red bell pepper, diced small
2 roma tomatoes gutted and diced

Throw these on top of the potatoes. Turn off the burner and turn the oven on to 350F.

about a handful of fresh spinach
sprinkle with nutmeg and a little more salt

half a small container of feta cheese, crumbled (this was probably about 3/4 cup)
Sprinkle that on the spinach.

Beat up;
3 eggs
1 cup milk

Pour over everything and pop it in the oven for a few minutes-until the eggs are almost set. It will finish cooking as it cools.

Enjoy!
