Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 6 slices bacon
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 small onion
- 1 cups cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Dice the onion and chop the parsley.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the potato slices in a single layer and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and lightly golden, flipping occasionally. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and golden.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and half of the chopped parsley.
Reintroduce the potatoes and crumbled bacon into the skillet, spreading them evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the top and gently shake the pan to distribute the eggs evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the frittata on the stove for 5 minutes, allowing the edges to set.
Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden and puffy.
Remove from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining parsley before slicing and serving.
