🛒 Ingredients

For the Potatoes

  • 4–5 medium potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika

For the Creamy Egg Mixture

  • 5 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream or cooking cream
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions or chives
  • 1 small red chili, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Topping

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the potatoes 🥔
Wash and thinly slice the potatoes. Heat olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer and cook over medium heat until golden brown and tender, turning occasionally. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Make the creamy mixture 🥚
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Add chopped onion, garlic, green onions, red chili, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3. Combine
Arrange the golden potato slices evenly throughout the skillet. Pour the creamy egg mixture over the potatoes, making sure it reaches between the slices.

4. Cook gently
Cook on low heat for 3–5 minutes, allowing the bottom to begin setting without burning.

5. Add the cheese 🧀
Generously sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over the top.

6. Bake until golden 🔥
Transfer the skillet to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven and bake for approximately 15–20 minutes, until the eggs are completely set and the cheese is melted and golden.

7. Garnish & serve 🌿
Let it rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle generously with fresh parsley or cilantro. Slice and serve warm.

💡 For the Creamy Sauce Shown in the Image

For an extra-creamy topping, mix:

  • ½ cup cooking cream
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red chili
  • Salt and black pepper

Warm gently until smooth, then spoon it over the potatoes before adding the mozzarella. Finish in the oven until bubbly and golden.

🔥 The result: crispy golden potatoes + fluffy creamy eggs + gooey cheese + herby creamy sauce = an irresistible potato bake!
