Let the oi heat up for 1-2 minutes then add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let the potatoes cook while stirring from time to time until they reach a golden brown color. About 5 minutes.
    • Make Egg Mixture. Meanwhile crack 6 large eggs into a large bowl. Whisk to combine. To the eggs add ¼ teaspoon of salt, the chicken bouillon powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using) and about 14 teaspoon of white or black pepper. Whisk to combine then add the chopped chives and whisk to combine.
    • Sauté Mushrooms. Once he potatoes are golden brown, remove them from the pan. Add the remaining one tablespoon of oil to the pan. Let it heat up for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the diced mushrooms, ⅛ teaspoon of salt and about ⅛ teaspoon of white or black pepper. Mix everything to combine. Let the mushrooms saute while you stir from time to time until they shrink considerably. About 3 minutes.

    Notes

    1. Any other starchy potatoes would work here as well.
    2. You could add any vegetables or herbs you like to your frittata. Bell peppers, parsley, basil, tomatoes are all good choices. If adding vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli to your frittata, be sure to sauté them first then mix them into the egg mixture. 
    3. Feel free to add meats like bacon, sausage or even leftover chicken to your frittata. More protein and more flavor!
