Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Bacon

• In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.

3. Cook the Potatoes and Onion

• Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
• Add the chopped onion and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until softened. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked bacon and half of the shredded cheese.

5. Assemble the Frittata

• Return the skillet with the potatoes and onion to medium heat. Spread the potato mixture evenly in the skillet.
• Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

6. Cook and Bake

• Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.

7. Serve

• Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
