Barbara's Notes + Tips
Don't overcook the frittata. Stand at the oven door and watch it carefully. Remove it while the eggs are set but still a little jiggly.
Make sure the sweet potatoes are at the consistency you want before adding the eggs, they will not cook much in the oven.
If you don't have an oven proof skillet, you can place in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
