Potato Tortilla Frittata With Bacon and Ricotta..

Its Really ALL ABOUT THE BACON here. I am an obsessive frittata maker. I make 3 or 4 a week. Clean out the fridge and make a frittata...anything goes and the combinations are endless. Today I had some uncooked bacon strips I saved from yesterdays breakfast. The bacon fat not only adds immense amounts of flavor but it leaves your pan completely clean. Love that grease. Everyone wins.
