- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, spread them evenly in the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with cheese if using.

Notes
Tip: You can add cooked bacon or ham for a heartier frittata!
For perfect results, ensure your sweet potatoes are cooked until tender but not mushy. You can easily swap chives for other fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, depending on your preference. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
Feel free to add cheese for extra creaminess and flavor, or incorporate other veggies like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
