Let’s Get Cooking!

Making this Bacon Potato Frittata is a breeze, just follow these simple steps and you’ll impress your family in no time!

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Get that oven warm while you prep, this step is major for ensuring your frittata bakes up beautifully.

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and potatoes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and the onions have turned translucent and aromatic about 8-10 minutes.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. It should be frothy and light. Then stir in the crumbled bacon and cheese until it’s all mixed up. The best part is the cheese is melting into the eggs as you mix!

  4. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet. It’s like a delicious blanket covering those lovely potatoes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and you can see the egg mixture beginning to firm up.

  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the middle and golden brown on top. The smell oh, it’ll be mouthwatering!

  6. Let it cool slightly, then slice and serve! Scoop it onto your plate and enjoy all those flavors coming together.
