Ingredients

• 12 slices bacon
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3

Peel the russet potatoes and dice them into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a separate large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, and chop it into bite-sized pieces once cooled.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and whole milk until fully combined.

Step 7

Layer the cooked potatoes evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with the cooked bacon and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, spreading them evenly.

Step 8

Pour the egg and milk mixture over the potato-bacon-cheese layer, ensuring the mixture covers everything evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 10

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, then slice into squares and serve warm.
