Potato Frittata
Served as a hearty breakfast or lighter lunch or dinner with a side salad, this frittata is mild on the digestive system, yet full of flavor. The Potato Frittata is ideal for cancer patients experiencing diarrhea because it doesn’t contain any irritating roughage or gaseous vegetables, provides potassium which is an important electrolyte that can be lost with diarrhea (or vomiting), and includes a healthy amount of protein which is essential for healing. For the cancer survivor, this recipe is a blank canvas. To boost the antioxidant and fiber content , you can add other vegetables or herbs, such as carrots, zucchini, broccoli and basil.
