preheat the oven to 400°
heat the oil, if using, over medium-high heat, add sausages, and cook until browned

leave the oil in the pan from the sausages, or the vegetable oil if you used it
add the potatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes
then add the red peppers and onions
cook and stir for another 2 minutes
sprinkle with garlic, salt, and pepper over the potatoes
cook another 2 minutes
and add the spinach on top, stir it in, and let it cook until soft and wilted
taste and add more salt or pepper if needed
once it's wilted sprinkle the cheese on top of the potato mix
beat the eggs and cream or milk together and pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture
as the eggs set press the sausges in a starburst pattern on top
turn the heat to low and let it cook for 4 minutes, do not stir
then slide the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the frittata is set and cooked through
check for doneness at the 10-minute mark by cutting the center of the frittata to check for runny eggs
if you see raw eggs bake again for 2 more minutes until the eggs are cooked through
