10/14/2010 - Used 2 medium red potatoes and added ~4 oz of mushrooms 2 minutes before the potatoes were done. Should use more than one cup of spinach. Eggs took longer to be firm. Gail liked it!
1/9/2011 - Took 18 minutes or more for the eggs to be firm
4/30/2012 - Used one small sweet potato in place of the red potatoes; updated recipe.
12/12/2016 - Used 4 medium red potatoes, cut in half and then sliced, with 1 teaspoon of salt substitute and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
1/12/2022 - I used a half bag of frozen spinach, 4 sliced green onions, 2 cloves of garlic, and half and half in place of milk. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. I used 1 teaspoon of salt substitute and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. We covered it with salsa when we ate.
