- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (1/8-inch thick)
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- For the curry sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- For the topping:
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes and onion with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the potato-onion mixture in an even layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, curry powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, then immediately remove from heat. Tip: Toasting the spices in the cream deepens the flavor—don’t skip the simmer!
- Pour the warm curry sauce evenly over the potatoes in the baking dish.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes.
- While baking, combine shredded cheddar, panko breadcrumbs, and melted butter in a small bowl.
- After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the cheese-panko mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for 15 more minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender. Tip: Check doneness by piercing a potato slice with a fork—it should slide in easily.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken. Tip: Resting prevents a runny texture and lets flavors meld.
Serve this casserole straight from the oven for a creamy, tender potato bite with a crispy, cheesy crust. The curry spices add warmth without overpowering, making it perfect alongside a simple green salad or as a hearty main. Try topping leftovers with a fried egg for a next-level brunch twist.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
For the vegetable base:
– 1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
– 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– ½ tsp salt
For the egg mixture:
– 8 large eggs
– ¼ cup whole milk
– ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– ¼ tsp black pepper
For finishing:
– 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
3. Add 1 lb diced Yukon Gold potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden.
4. Add 1 cup thinly sliced fennel and ½ tsp salt to the skillet. Tip: Sauté for 5 more minutes until the fennel softens and becomes fragrant.
5. While vegetables cook, whisk 8 large eggs with ¼ cup whole milk, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, and ¼ tsp black pepper in a medium bowl until fully combined.
6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Tip: Do not stir—let the eggs set around the edges for 2 minutes.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the center is fully set and no liquid egg remains.
8. Remove the skillet from the oven using an oven mitt. Tip: Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow it to firm up.
