Fast. Uses the crumbly bits left at the bottom of the potato chip bag. No prep required. REALLY fast. Apparently quite close to an authentic Spanish potato frittata (according to the Food and Wine recipe from which this is adapted). Really, really, really fast.
We walked in the door tonight at quarter of six and I had dinner on the table at 6:05. No prep-ahead, unless you count having already eaten 12 oz. of a 14 oz. bag of sour cream and onion chips. I had ham leftover from breakfast that needed chopped, and I used jarred diced pimiento...if you use home-roasted peppers, that part will take you a bit longer. I served this frittata with bagged salad greens and sliced fruit.
Measure your potato chip bits by weight rather than volume (I screw up so you don't have to). Two single-serving bags work, or about 2 oz. of leftover potato chip bits. It's about 2 cups of crushed chips, but it's easy to over-crush wind up with WAY too much potato.
Marjoram is my favorite herb with eggs, but you can leave it out or substitute something else if you want.
