Tips
Use a dark sheet pan for the sweet potato fries to achieve better browning and crispier results.
Keep about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan for sautéing the vegetables - it adds incredible flavor to the frittata.
Test doneness by inserting a knife in the center - it should come out clean when the frittata is fully set.
