DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oil over medium heat in large skillet. Add potatoes; cook 10 minutes, or until potatoes are browned and tender, stirring frequently.

INGREDIENTS
6 medium baking potatoes (2 pounds)
1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted
2/3 cup finely chopped red or green sweet pepper
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
1 cup shredded process Gruyere cheese or shredded cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
4 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
DIRECTIONS
1. For potato skins, prick baking potatoes with a fork. Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until tender. Cut into quarters. Scoop out the insides (reserve for another use), leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. Brush both sides of potato skins with melted margarine or butter. Place cut side up on a large baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp.
2. Meanwhile, for topping, in a medium saucepan cook the red or green sweet pepper, onion, pecans, and garlic in hot oil until onion is tender but not brown. Remove saucepan from heat and cool slightly. Stir in the cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives. Spoon onto potato skins. Return to oven and bake about 2 minutes more or until cheese melts. Makes 24.
Make Ahead Tip
Bake potatoes; cool. Wrap and chill for up to 12 hours. Continue as directed.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound small new potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 large eggs
1 15 ounce container part-skim ricotta cheese
8 ounces 2-percent Cheddar, grated
DIRECTIONS
1. Peel potatoes and place in a 3-quart pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches and bring to a boil over moderately high heat; add salt. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender but not falling apart, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and when just cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degree F and arrange rack in center. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet (if the handle is not ovenproof, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil) over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Whisk together flour, chives, baking powder, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk together eggs and cheeses in another bowl until combined well; whisk in flour mixture.
3. Pour egg mixture over potatoes and bake until firm and puffy, about 45 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Run a small knife around edge of frittata and gently slide onto a platter. Serve warm. Makes 8 servings.
