And this evening I put together this Potato and Corn Fritatta that was seriously awesome . The original recipe called for scallions , but I wanted to use up more of the shallots Richard bought for the chicken packets , plus there was one red bell pepper left that needed using , so I chopped that up and stirred that in with the potatoes at the last minute . We 'll be taking the leftovers for lunch tomorrow , and we 'll also definitely be making this again .
Question: What led the speaker to want to use shallots in place of scallions ?
The answer to the above question:


They already had the shallots on hand and have enjoyed using them , so they decided to use them now too
