Ingredients
  

6 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

¼ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

6 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Optional toppings: sliced green onions, sour cream, or hot sauce

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

      Bake the potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they begin to soften.

        Combine the filling: While the potatoes are baking, in another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined.

          Layer the casserole: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon and both cheeses evenly over the top. Pour the egg mixture over everything, gently pressing down to ensure the egg distributes well.

            Bake the casserole: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with optional toppings like sliced green onions, a dollop of sour cream, or a splash of hot sauce, if desired.
