Ingredients
  

For the Frittata
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more for seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper plus more for seasoning
  • 4 ounces thick-cut bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion about 1/2 medium onion
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 10-inch ovenproof skillet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
  2. Toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer.
  3. Roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the onion and set aside with the bacon.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the roasted potatoes and cooked bacon and onion mixture to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You can add other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to this frittata. Ensure any added vegetables are pre-cooked before adding them to the egg mixture.
