I love this recipe for hosting brunch because it is so pretty once baked! But, it’s also so yummy for a filling breakfast-for-dinner any day of the week for your family. Pair it with your favorite breakfast meat and fruit and you are set.

Here’s how to make this Perfect Potato Frittata.

Ingredients for a Potato Frittata

• Butter
• Baking potatoes
• Eggs
• Shredded cheese – both cheddar and Swiss
• Sour cream
• Chopped chives
• Tomato
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt & pepper

How to make Potato Frittata

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and coating a 9″ quiche pan or deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray.

Next, peel your baking potatoes and slice thinly. You can use a sharp knife for this, but a mandolin slicer like this one makes this job much easier.

Melt one tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Add the potatoes, and sauté until they’re nice and tender. Sprinkle with salt. Transfer your potatoes to the prepared pan.

In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and add your eggs. Soft scramble the eggs, leaving them fairly liquid.

Meanwhile, spread half the cheddar and Swiss cheese over the potatoes, making a thin layer. Next, spread the sour cream over the cheese, and top with chopped chives. Add the scrambled eggs, and top with the remaining shredded cheddar and Swiss cheese.

Circle the quiche pan with tomato slices. Note: You can cover the top completely with tomato, or make a ring around the edge – this is personal preference! Top with Parmesan cheese.

Bake about 35 minutes until cheese is puffy and slightly browned. Serve warm and enjoy!
