Potatoes have a special affinity with eggs. If you keep frozen hash browns on hand (check the label and choose hash browns with less than 1 gram of fat per serving),you can whip up a simple,satisfying omelet like this one at a moment’s notice. To cut back on saturated fat, use 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites. From Diabetic Connect
