In a skillet, heat over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Arrange the thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes in an even layer and season generously with salt and pepper. Sauté until the potatoes begin to brown, being careful not to burn them.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced scallions, roasted green chilis, and thinly sliced Canadian bacon. Use a potato peeler to create strips of Parmiggiano cheese, and add these to the skillet. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until everything is evenly heated.

Dollop the cream cheese in small teaspoonfuls randomly across the mixture and stir gently to incorporate all ingredients.

Pour in the egg substitute and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center.
