Just came across this interesting dish in the latest issue of Kraft Foods "Food & Family" magazine.  I think it would  be good with any type of sausage, including ground pork sausage and  a different type of cheese, such as parmesan or swiss.

SWEET POTATO AND CHORIZO FRITTATA

6 oz. Mexican chorizo

1 (1/2 pound) sweet potato, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 chopped red pepper

3 sliced green onions

1/4 cup water

6 eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook chorizo in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until done, stirring often, then drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.

Spoon chorizo into a 9-inch pie plate sprayed with cooking spray.

Add potatoes to reserved drippings, cook 4 minutes, stirring often.

Add peppers and onions; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Add water, cover, cook 3 minutes.  Do not stir.

Spoon potato mixture evenly over chorizo.

Whisk eggs and sour cream until blended; pour over potato mixture.

Top with cheese.

Bake 35-40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

I use chorizo alot--but not sure about the sweet potatoes in it---especially with cheese or the red pepper----would have to use white spuds
