Ham, Cheese & Potato Fritatta

Ingredients:
*5 eggs
*2 tsp olive oil; Can use a little more if you're using a bigger skillet or if yours isn't as 'non-stick' as the sales ads led you to believe
*3 green onions
 *1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese; Feel free to add more cheese, as it makes everything better! *1 tbsp parsley
*1 small potato
*1 package of Canadian Bacon or other ham steak; I like ham, so the more the better but include less or more according to taste
*salt & pepper to taste; Because of the potato, I recommend more salt than what you'd normally include

Makes approximately 8 wedges of the size shown

Directions:
1. Cut potato into very thin coins & boil for about 20 minutes or until very tender. Strain & set aside.
2. Heat half the olive oil in a small to medium skillet over medium heat. Add chopped green onions & cook until tender. Remove onions from skillet.
3. Heat the other half of the olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
4. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl (approx. 2 qt bowl). No mixer is necessary, fork works perfectly. 5. Pour mixture into heated skillet. Leave it alone! No pushing around with spatula to see if it's cooking, etc. It's not supposed to be scrambled ;)
6. Cook for about 5-8 minutes (depending on skillet size ) until bottom is lightly browned.
7. Place a large plate over skillet & flip skillet over to invert fritatta onto plate. I swear it's easier than it sounds.
8. Let fritatta slide off plate (uncooked side down) back into skillet. Cook another 5-8 minutes.
9. Repeat the plate inversion to take the fritatta out of the skillet. It's too big/heavy to lift with a spatula.
10. Cut into wedges & serve.
