6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the frittatas are set and golden brown on top.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the frittatas to cool for a few minutes in the tin. Carefully remove them using a butter knife or flexible spatula. Serve warm and enjoy!

Cooking Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before you start preparing the frittatas to save time.

- Make sure to dice the potatoes into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.

- Cook the bacon until it's crispy for the best texture and flavor in your frittatas.

- If you prefer, you can substitute the cheddar cheese with another type of cheese like mozzarella or feta.

- Use a non-stick muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent the frittatas from sticking.

- Beat the eggs well before mixing them with the other ingredients to achieve a uniform texture.

- Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs, such as spinach, bell peppers, or parsley, to customize the frittatas to your liking.

- Let the frittatas cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them. This will help them set and make it easier to take them out without breaking.
