🥔Cheesy Creamy Potato Skillet Casserole

 

A delicious, comforting potato dish made with crispy golden potato slices, a creamy herbed egg mixture, and plenty of melted cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a family dinner.

Ingredients

For the potatoes

  • 5–6 medium potatoes
  • 2–3 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

For the creamy mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream or cooking cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup mayonnaise or sour cream
  • ½ cup finely chopped green onions
  • ¼ cup chopped bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or coriander
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella

For topping

  • 1–1½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley/coriander
  • A pinch of paprika or chili flakes

Instructions

1. Prepare the potatoes:

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds. Rinse and pat them very dry.

2. Season:

Place the potato slices in a bowl. Add salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and oil. Toss until evenly coated.

3. Cook the potatoes:

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and almost tender. Work in batches if necessary.

4. Make the creamy mixture:

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, mayonnaise or sour cream, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

5. Stir in the green onions, bell pepper, parsley/coriander, and ½ cup mozzarella.

6. Combine:

Arrange the cooked potato slices evenly in the skillet. Pour the creamy mixture slowly over the potatoes, making sure it reaches between the slices.

7. Add cheese:

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella or cheddar generously over the top.

8. Bake:

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F). Bake for approximately 25–30 minutes, until the egg mixture is completely set and the cheese is melted and golden.

9. Brown the top:

For a more golden, bubbly top, switch to broil/grill for 2–3 minutes, watching carefully.

10. Garnish and serve:

Let it rest for 5–10 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley or coriander. Slice and serve warm.

💡 Tips

Slice the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.

For extra flavor, add cooked chicken, beef, mushrooms, or turkey.

Cheddar gives a stronger flavor, while mozzarella makes the dish especially stretchy and creamy.

Don’t cut it immediately after baking; resting helps the creamy filling set properly.

Serving suggestion: Serve with a fresh salad, yogurt dip, or your favorite chutney for a delicious complete meal.
