Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for achieving the perfectly cooked frittata you desire.
Cook the chopped bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy; remove and set aside.
Sauté diced potatoes in the same skillet until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Whisk together eggs and heavy cream in a mixing bowl; season with salt and pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the cooked potatoes, then sprinkle crispy bacon and cheddar cheese on top.
Simmer on the stovetop for 3 minutes, allowing the edges to set slightly before baking.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set.
Rest the frittata for 5 minutes before slicing it. Garnish with fresh chives.
