Sweet Potato Frittata

TÜRKÇE İÇİN TIKLAYIN "Tatlı Patatesli Frittata"
PER ITALIANO "Frittata di Patata Dolce e Riso"

 
I heard a lot about sweet potatoes, saw on the shelves of a couple of supermarkets, mostly in organic food shops however I had never cooked or even tasted myself until I saw the attractive Sweet Potato Frittata recipe of judydawn, one of the most active members of Forum Thermomix.

I've recently bought some sweet potatoes. Since I didn't remember how much exactly I needed so I wanted to make it sure by buying 1.5 kilos :) It turns out all I needed was around 400 grams. I am happy that I purchased in abundance anyway because we did enjoy the dish and I cooked it twice in a short period of time and still have potatoes for one last time.

You can serve it warm or cold according to your preference. This flexibility also gives you the chance to serve it as a very practical finger food for your parties and invitations.

1 litre boiling water
5g parsley leaves, washed and dried
50g mozzarella, roughly chopped

75g milk
1 clove of garlic
