Potato Frittata

To preface this post: I hate eggs.  I really do.  I'm not sure why, I just think they are disgusting.  The smell, the texture, the taste- I find it all incredibly unappealing.

Every weekend during crew season, we have a spirit dinner.  Basically, it's just an excuse for us all to get together, stuff our faces, and get excited for our races.  As part of the tradition, a family hosts it each week and is responsible for making a ton of pasta.  Everyone else who comes is supposed to bring a side dish of sorts, drinks, or a desert, depending on the week.

While most people just bring something simple the bought at the store, my mother insists on making a dish every week that she considers good food for us to eat prior to our races.  Thus, the frittata.  It's potato and eggs, so it packs a lot of protein and carbs, just what you need the night before the race.  While I refused to touch it, everybody seemed to really like it.  So thank you, mom, for encouraging us to eat good food that actually (I'm told) tastes good.
