Notes
Whole Egg Option: If you prefer to use whole eggs instead of egg whites, use a total of 6 whole eggs.
Potatoes O'Brien: This is essentially cubed cooked potatoes with bell peppers. Ore-Ida makes a frozen brand, but many major grocers have their own house brand in the freezer section. All that we've seen are dairy free. You can also make your own. Simply par-boil cubed potatoes, for about 5 to 7 minutes, then saute with diced bell peppers, as directed in the recipe above. You might need to saute them a little longer.
Salt: The only notable salt in this recipe is in the ham. So the amount of sodium will depend on the ham you use. If you are not on a low salt diet, you can season the potatoes as they cook to punch up the flavor.
