Now, onto the fun part—let’s make this frittata!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large ovenproof skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble or chop into small pieces.
3. Add the olive oil to the bacon drippings in the skillet. Sauté the onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender and slightly golden.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and Gruyère cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet. Add the crumbled bacon and stir gently to combine.
7. Cook on the stovetop for a few minutes until the edges begin to set.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden brown.
9. Let it cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh chives if desired.

Remember, like the dishes I grew up with, this frittata is forgiving. Feel free to tweak it—add some bell peppers or spinach for extra flavor and nutrients.
