How to Make Bacon Potato Frittata

Cook bacon until crisp. Remove from skillet and reserve 2 teaspoons of bacon drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Add sliced potatoes to the skillet with the reserved bacon drippings. Cover and cook over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Flip the potatoes and reduce heat to low to prevent over-browning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese, green onions, and basil.
Spread the cooked potatoes evenly in a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the potatoes.
Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and bacon.
Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is set and the center is cooked through. If the edges are browning too quickly, reduce heat to low.
To check for doneness, gently lift an edge of the frittata; if it's still slightly wet, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
Once cooked, carefully loosen the edges of the frittata from the skillet.
Invert the frittata onto a serving plate.
Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Top with a dollop of sour cream or salsa, if desired.
