Have made this many times, and it's always good. Sometimes I use fresh herbs (like tonight because summer means fresh herbs in the garden!), sometimes fresh chopped spinach instead of frozen. I've also added sliced kalmata olives on top. Be careful that the potatoes don't burn--my stove is a little hot (and electric, doggone it), so I have to use more of a medium low than a medium high setting. Salad and bread--and you've got dinner. My husband and I usually each eat one third, then share the last third for lunch the next day.
Florentine Frittata
Frozen hash browns are great to have on hand and pair well with the feta cheese and spinach. For a new twist next time, try a combination of broccoli and sharp cheddar or Swiss cheese.
