Bacon, Potato, and Cheddar Frittata

by Irene Lindvall


Today was my first attempt at a frittata. My mom and Eric's aunt make good ones and I've been thinking about them a lot recently so I was happy I had this recipe. Eric hates thick, dry frittatas and my only requirement is that it have taste. I did not have a worry that this one would lack taste. 

The recipe called for a non-stick skillet but since I don't own one I decided on cast iron. I used my 10" like the recipe calls for, but the recipe photo appears to have a thicker frittata than what I produced so I thought my 10" was really a 12". Regardless, Eric said he preferred how I did it since it kept the thickness down. It cooked fine and wasn't runny. The potatoes ended up looking like sausage (see photo) and were incredibly tasty. My only complaint, and it's not really a complaint, is that there was no green. No green onions. No parsley. I would've liked to see something green but there is no way I can complain about this frittata. 

Things I learned from this recipe:

I made this for brunch for us, but I would say it's not for two. It could easily be served for four people. It's quite filling.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Yes
