Ingredients

6 pieces bacon thick-cut
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 small potatoes sliced into thin rounds (⅛-inch / 3mm thick), about 1.5 lbs total
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper freshly ground
3 stalks green onions chopped
¼ cup feta crumbled
6 medium eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter optional, for frying potatoes

Instructions

Cook the bacon using your preferred method: fry in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, bake on a sheet pan at 400°F / 200°C (180°C fan-forced) for 15-18 minutes, or microwave between paper towels for 4-5 minutes. Cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) chunks and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Cook the potatoes. If you’re in a rush, fry them in 1 tablespoon (15g) of butter over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and just tender.
Put the potato slices into a cast iron skillet and roast in the oven at 400°F / 200°C (180°C fan-forced) for about 30 minutes. Don’t worry if the potatoes don’t cook all the way through; they’ll cook more once the eggs are added!
To assemble, arrange your cooked potatoes in even layers in a 10-inch (25cm) cast iron skillet. Scatter the green onions, crumbled feta, and bacon chunks evenly over the potato layer. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture slowly and evenly over the filling in the skillet.
Cover the skillet with aluminium foil and bake covered in a 400°F / 200°C (180°C fan-forced) oven for 30 minutes. Then remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until golden and slightly puffed.
Let the frittata rest in the skillet for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve warm.
