I also enjoyed a great spicy egg & potato bake. I used the rest of my purple potatoes from the farmers market and based my recipe on this recipe from Naomi's fabulous blog.
Ingredients:3-4 small purple (or red) potatoes
1 egg, 2 egg whites
Chopped pepper & onions (or other veggies as desired)
¼ teaspoon red pepper (may want to try this with 1/8 teaspoon the first time around)
¼ teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons shredded cheese
Cooking Spray
Salsa, ketchup, etc to top
Directions:
Ahead of time, place potatoes in a pot, cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook ~6-8 minutes until potatoes are still tender but hold their form. Remove from heat, drain, slice.
Spray a loaf pan. Place cooked potatoes, onion, pepper (you can also sautee the onion & pepper ahead of time for more flavor), and other desired veggies in pan. In a bowl mix egg, egg white and spices with a fork. Pour egg mixtures over vegetables. Top with shredded cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Delicious!
