Sausage & Potato Fritatta

OK! OK! I am not obsessed with meat. It just seems as if I am. My father brought over veal and sausage last week, in which I used half and froze the other half, so what was I supposed to do, say no to free food? I don't think so. (Next week I will go over the basics on how to go food shopping in other people's cupboards and make an entire meal from those "Free" items.)

So this morning, I cooked up my Sausage & Potato Fritatta. I promise, tonight's meal will be vegetarian and yummy.

I hope you appreciate my intense measuring, timing and early rising to produce such a masterpiece. I am doing all of this for you, you know. Enjoy!
