Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this recipe because they hold their shape well and won't become mushy.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Parboil the potatoes: This will help them cook through without becoming too brown.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the potatoes get crispy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add the cheese and herbs at the end of cooking: This will prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Italian breakfast potato bake is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Italian breakfast potato bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch. The potatoes are crispy and golden brown, the cheese is melted and gooey, and the herbs add a flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
