Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup half-and-half or whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 cups peeled and diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional

Method
 

Preheat the oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will finish cooking the frittata after the stovetop step.
Cook the bacon
  1. Place diced bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Cook the potatoes
  1. Add olive oil to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and lightly brown.
Add the onion
  1. Add diced onion to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 4–5 minutes until the onion becomes soft and fragrant.
Prepare the egg mixture
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together:
  2. Eggs
  3. Half-and-half (or milk)
  4. Salt
  5. Black pepper
  6. ▶ Whisk until the mixture looks smooth and well combined.
Combine everything
  1. Return the cooked bacon to the skillet with the potatoes and onions. Spread everything evenly across the pan.
  2. Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle shredded cheese evenly.
Cook on the stovetop
  1. Let the frittata cook on medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.
Bake the frittata
  1. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center.
Garnish and serve
  1. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
