Ingredients:

3 potatoes
600g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
4 bacon strips
100g
1/2 cup mushrooms
120g
5 eggs
250g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices.
- Place the potato slices in a microwave-safe bowl, add a splash of water, cover with a microwave-safe lid, and microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes, until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Bacon:
- While the potatoes are in the microwave, heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Once the bacon is crisp, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.
3. Sauté the Mushrooms:
- In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the mushrooms.
- Sauté the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes, until they are browned and have released their moisture.
- Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Potatoes:
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-low.
- Carefully add the pre-cooked potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes, until they begin to brown and become crispy.
5. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Combine Everything:
- Once the potatoes are cooked and slightly crispy, reduce the stovetop heat to low.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms and chopped bacon over the potatoes in the skillet.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the potatoes, mushrooms, and bacon, ensuring it spreads evenly.
7. Cook the Frittata:
- Let the frittata cook on the stovetop over low heat until the edges start to set, about 3-5 minutes.
- Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
8. Broil the Frittata:
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and place it under the broiler.
- Broil the frittata for 3-5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are fully set.
- Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
9. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven using oven mitts (be careful, it will be very hot!).
- Let the frittata cool in the skillet for a few minutes before slicing.
- Cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

- For a lighter version, substitute the bacon with turkey bacon or omit it for a vegetarian option.

- Make sure to evenly slice the potatoes to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Use a non-stick, oven-safe skillet for the best results when transferring the dish from stovetop to oven.

- Be cautious not to overcook the frittata to maintain a fluffy texture; it should be just set in the center when done.

- Feel free to add your choice of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an added burst of flavor.
