Preparation Method Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
- While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
- Dice the onion and bell peppers. Add them to the same skillet used for the bacon and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the roasted potatoes, cooked bacon, and sautéed vegetables to a large oven-safe skillet.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the potato and vegetable mixture.
- Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the skillet.
- Bake the skillet in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
