Farm Style Potato Frittata(Brunch, Lunch Or Supper)
A hearty, savory potato frittata featuring crispy bacon, fresh vegetables, and melted cheese—perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner with bold flavors and comforting textures.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the bacon pieces in a skillet until crispy, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the cubed potatoes and cook until lightly browned and heated through.
- Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add sliced green onions and chopped green pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and bacon in the skillet.
- Cook over medium heat until the eggs are set around the edges, about 5-7 minutes.
- Optionally, sprinkle minced parsley on top before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, try using leftover roasted vegetables instead of potatoes. You can substitute turkey bacon for a lighter option or use a mix of different cheeses like mozzarella for a milder flavor. Be careful not to overcook the eggs; they should be just set and soft, similar to the texture of Scrambled Eggs(Makes 6 Servings).
Serving Suggestions
Serve the frittata warm, garnished with minced parsley for freshness. It pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or slices of fresh fruit. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside Virginia Ham Biscuits(Yorktown Cookbook) for a delightful brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the frittata in a skillet over low heat until warmed through, or microwave in 30-second intervals. Avoid overheating to keep the eggs tender.
