Frittatas.
They make a great breakfast. They make a great lunch. And they make a wonderful one dish dinner!
You’ve got the protein from the eggs, cheese and bacon, plus a little starch from the potatoes. Serve it with a side of fresh fruit and you’ve got the entire food pyramid covered!
Loaded Potato Frittata
Ingredients
6 slices turkey bacon
4 medium Russet potatoes
8 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 bunch green onions, slicedSide ideas: Clementine oranges, apple slices, bananas, cantaloupe wedges
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cook the turkey bacon (or regular bacon if you prefer) in the cast iron skillet.)
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and then saute the potatoes in the bacon grease for 5 to 7 minutes, or until begin to soften.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and sour cream. Add a little salt and pepper and whisk that in too.
- Once the potatoes have softened some, pour the egg mixture over top and let cook on the stovetop for about 3 minutes, or until you see the eggs along the edges begin to set.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs in the middle have set.
- Add the shredded cheese to the top and then bake for another 5 minutes. Be sure to use a heavy duty oven mitt, as the handle will be hot, hot, hot!
- Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the oven. Let cool slightly before slicing.
- Slice and serve topped with green onion slices and a side of fresh fruit.
Erin,
Beautiful new site! I really want to try this recipe for a brunch I’m having soon. Was wondering what to serve that would be quick and elegant. Now I know!
Kindly,
Sara
Oh my goodness, does this look so amazing!! I will be trying this out tomorrow. Thank you for the recipe and great site, love the pictures!!
This looks great! May try it for dinner tomorrow night with leftover bacon I had from our big breakfast “Brinner” on Sunday!
Looks scrummy. I think I will be making this recipe along with some of the others next week!
Will be making this for dinner next week. Will be the first time making a frittata. Can’t wait.
i think we’ll try this recipe next week.
We love frittatas around our house. I look forward to trying this version.
This looks yummy, but I think I will try the Southwestern mac and cheese first!
This one looks delicious! I might have to put this one on the recipe for next week. DH would be excited – I don’t cook with potatoes too often!
Oh my gosh I will be making this for dinner on Monday night!!! I can’t wait to try it, it looks so good!!!
I’ve been wanting to try a frittata and I love breakfast so I will definitely be trying this!
Can I just say how much I love that you used turkey bacon for this? Yay!
I’m totally making this next weekend for brunch! Thanks!
The link didn’t work to come to the site, so hope leaving my comment here will enter me in to the contest! This looks delicious, and this will be the recipe that I will try this week. I am gluten free so can’t have so many things and this one is gluten free- yay! Can’t wait to try it.
I am new at gluten free. I have Celiac. Do you have any favorites recipes to share.
Love this recipe! I will definitely be trying this soon!
I can’t wait to try this! Great job!
I am so making this dish for dinner next week as my freebie (carb loaded) meal. YUM!!
As soon as I saw this, I put it on our menu for next Saturday’s brunch. Yummy and easy…my favorites!
This looks delicious! I’ve never made a frittata before, but am going out tomorrow to buy the ingredients and we will be having it for Sunday dinner. Thanks so much and I love BOTH your blogs!
So pumped for this site! I can already smell breakfast in the morning. With three kids and a husband we have a very busy schedule and this site is going to help me so much! Congratulations Erin.
I’m going to have to try this as I have all the ingredients already. Thanks for sharing!
This one looks like a winner! And maybe you’ll think so too! Thanks for the new website, Erin! I’m always looking to use less pots and pans for cooking up things.
I definitely want to try this soon! Breakfast gets boring for us so this will make it interesting! I tried your Chicken Spaghetti with Spinach tonight and it was yummy! Thanks!
Where can I find that recipe? I will have to make changes for gluten free, but spaghetti squash might work.
I’ll be trying the frittata recipe this week as well!
Nice new site! Can’t wait to see more. The frittata looks great, but I really want to try the SW Mac and Cheese first! I think I will! Thank you for the great giveaways too!
This looks great! I’ll definitely be making this next week.
This looks good, but I want to try the Southwest Mac and Cheese first this week.
I am making this tomorrow! Looks great!
I have to try this fritatta, probably for brunch tomarrow.. I have leftover potatoes and some eggs I got on a bygo that need to be used! yum!
This looks like a crowd-pleaser. I will be making this next week for a dinner.
I would pick the Loaded Potato Friata to make for my family. We love potatoes and always have them on hand. I always look for new ways to make them!
Love this recipe! We will be trying it for dinner this week… Yum!! Thanks, Erin!
I mad this tonight and it was incredible. I will definitely be making this again and again.
I love frittatas (or egg pizzas as my kids call them)-so easy- and with the feel of spring FINALLY coming to MN this weekend, this would make a lovely spring-time bistro dinner- salad, side of fruit and my egg pizza…. perfect!
We’ve never made frittatas before and can’t wait to try them Sunday !
I am planning to make this tomorrow for lunch since I already have all the ingredients.If I use regular bacon,I pour off most of the grease before putting the potatoes in the pan,right?
I have never made anything like this before, but I have everything in the house so I think that I will try it this week!
Such a nice simple site. I’m totally going to make the southwest macaroni for the kidos!
This site looks great! I can’t wait to try the recipes
Hoping to win the giveaway too!!!
Frittats are a favorite of ours. Can hardly wait to try this one. It sounds wonderful.

So excited for your new site!!! Love one dish meals.
Southwest Mac and Cheese first next week then this yummy looking frittata.
I can’t try this recipe next week because we’ll be out of town, but hopefully the next!! It looks so yummy!
Yep- this is definitely the “gonna try” recipe!! Looks YUMMY!!!!
This looks really yummy. I have lots of eggs that I need to use, so this would be a great meal to make early next week…super fast, too. We’re trying to cut carbs, so I think I will substitute broccoli for the potatoes, since I have a lot right now (because it was on sale)!
Just made as a breakfast and WILL make it again next Saturday morning! Love your new site!
I just made Italian herb fritatta this morning from your book. This one looks good to try for next week. Love the new site.
I love this site. I’m so excited to watch for more recipes. I’ll be trying the fritatta this week!
I am going to try this recipe this week. Looks so yummy!
Like your new website and just subscribed to it. I will try making the Southwest Mac & Cheese.
This frittata looks delicious, and I can’t wait to make it next week (if not sooner). Thinking about subbing SoyChorizo from Trader Joe’s instead of bacon. That stuff is so good w/potatoes and eggs

I have never made a frittata before, so I think I will add this to my menu for next week, I just need to pick up the sour cream! It looks delicious! Thanks for all of the great recipes!
Everything my boys love rolled up into one dish, love your new website and look forward to getting new ideas to incorporate into our busy lives. Please keep the tips and recipes coming!
Really loving your website I will be trying this out on Thursday! Great recipes.
What a great new site. I’ll be making this frittata this weekend.
that looks delicious. I was actually trying to think of something for dinner tonight since i have to make 2 of them (one for the kids and one for the husband later)…and this looks perfect
This recipe looks super yummy and I will definitely be trying it out! I just found your site through The Happy Housewife site and I can already tell that I will be following you closely as I am constantly looking for new easy and affordable dishes for my family! Thanks for your great ideas!
I am going to try this recipe tonight for dinner. However, I did notice one thing in the recipe and it seems that there is no mention of how to prepare the potatoes before cooking them. Are the potatoes suppose to be diced, shredded, chopped, cubed, sliced or left whole? Peeled or unpeeled? If I was just going to make this recipe without seeing a picture of it, I would have thought that I needed to leave the potatoes whole while cooking them in the bacon grease. No matter, it still sounds like a great recipe!
Yum! I’d love to make this for dinner. I don’t have a cast iron skillet. 4 potatoes sounds like an awful lot, but yum!!
This looks great. I assume the bacon is supposed to go back in with the potatoes before the egg mixture?
Thanks!
Sounds Yummy. I can’t decide between this and the spicy Quinoa with red beans.
This looks really good. Where can I get a cast iron skillet?
I will be making this this week on “breakfast for dinner night”!!
Love this recipe…and gluten free too!! Yum!
I will be putting this on the menu list for next week!!
This was our favorite frittata yet! Thanks!
I will be making this next week!
This looks fabulous! I look forward to making this next week.
I think this looks delish!! and I think my family will love it! Will be making this one next week!!
I love this recipe….definately gonna try this one next week!
Yum!! I will be making this frittata next week! Can’t wait to taste it!:)
This frittata looks great, but so does the southwest mac and cheese so I think I’ll make them both next week.
Thanks for this recipe. I’ll be trying it soon!
Oh, this looks so yummy! I think I am going to make this for my family next week!
This dish looks great – think we’ll try it!
Def. going to try this one. My dh loves loaded baked potatoes & the kids are big fans of anything with melted cheese. ;o)
I love that you used turkey bacon as that is what I use 99% of the time. With light sour cream, 2% cheese & a big salad on the side this will make a filling meal that won’t burst our calorie bank! Thanks!
I will be making this for dinner ^_^
This looks so great and inexpensive to make…cant wait to make it next week. Gonna add it to my menu plan.
This just got added to our menu for next week. The recipes on this new site look so yummy and simple. With 2 1/2 year old twins, anything simple is a blessing. Thank you!
I’m making this right now and was wondering how I should cut the potatoes? What size pan will work? Thank you!
I ended up peeling and cubing the potatoes. I put them in a large calaphlon pan. Also, I mixed the chopped bacon in with the egg mixture. It looks unbelievable and tasted like potato skins-delicious!
