Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 8 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds (about 1/8-inch thick). Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the sautéed onion and garlic mixture over the potatoes.

Step 6

Sprinkle about half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the first layer.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes, onion-garlic mixture, and cheese, ensuring even layers.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and cheese, making sure it seeps into all areas of the dish.

Step 9

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

Step 10

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
