Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 6 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 1 medium Bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter, unsalted
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into rounds. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of the greased casserole dish. Top with half of the sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onion and pepper mixture, and cheese.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the casserole dish, ensuring it seeps into all nooks and crannies.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Take the casserole out of the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
