Preheat the oven to 350°F and make sure the (10-inch) skillet is well seasoned. (If not using a cast iron skillet, use an oven safe pan and grease it.)
Prepare the filling ingredients: chop potatoes into small cubes, chop green onion, and chop cooked bacon. (Note: you can peel the potatoes or leave the skin on. If you wish to leave the skin on, make sure to wash and scrub the potatoes.)
Preheat a well-seasoned skillet on stove-top over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and spread it around.
Add potatoes, season with a little salt, and sauté until golden and done. Take the skillet off heat and make sure potatoes are spread evenly over the pan.
Whisk eggs, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper until all combined.
Spread crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and chopped green onion over potatoes. Pour egg mixture over the potatoes. Give the skillet a very gently shake to spread evenly.
Place skillet into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Gently touch the center to make sure the eggs feel firm and not liquid or too squishy.
Note: you can make this recipe without a cast iron skillet. Just use a regular oven-safe sauté pan. Or, cook potatoes and transfer to a lightly greased baking dish before adding eggs. Add remaining ingredients to the baking dish and bake until done.
Notes
TIPS:
Make sure your skillet is well seasoned. This will help with the food sticking.
Remember that “seasoned” skillet does not meat that you’re added seasoning to it. To season a cast iron skillet, is to rub it with oil and cure it in the oven at 450°F for 30-40 minutes. Remember to turn on kitchen vent or open a window as it will get smoky.
Always preheat the skillet and cooking pan before starting to cook.
Once you add potatoes to the skillet, let them cook untouched for a few minutes. This will get give them a nice brown sear. Do the same after you mix, leave them untouched to cook for a few minutes
Make sure to spread your filling ingredients evenly over the pan before adding the egg mixture. That way, every bite will have a little bit of everything in it.
