Mini Chorizo and Potato Frittatas

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 3 med.(approx. 1.2 lbs.) Red skin potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 8 oz. bulk Mexican chorizo sausage
• 1 sm. Onion, finely diced
• 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 c grated cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F and position a rack in the center. Grease a standard-size muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

Put the diced potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough cold water to cover by an inch. Add the salt and cover to bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered until the potatoes are tender yet firm, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, brown the chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking into chunks, until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Spoon out the cooked and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Remove all but ½ tsp of grease from the pan. Return the pan to the heat and add the onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and translucent, 5-8 minutes. Add Garlic, cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Fold in the cooked chorizo, potatoes, onion mixture and cheese. Divide between the prepared muffin tins, using a little less than ½ cup of mixture per tin.

Bake until frittatas pull away from the sides of the tins and are set and not gooey in the middle, 15-18 minutes. Allow to cool for several minutes before removing from the pan.

Serve immediately or refrigerate or freeze once cooled. To reheat leftovers, heat in the microwave on high power for 1-2 minutes.
