- 1 bag frozen tater tots (16-ounce)
- 2 tbsps olive oil (divided)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsps kosher salt (divided)
- 10 large eggs
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream

Instructions
- 1 Arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat to 475°F. Place the tater tots in a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or other oven safe skillet). Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil, then season with the Garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Use your hands to toss and evenly coat the tots; arrange them in a single layer in the skillet. Roast on the lower rack until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, chives, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and several grinds of black pepper.- 3
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Transfer the cooked tots to a plate (do not wipe out the skillet). Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and shallot and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach a few handfuls at a time and cook, stirring, until wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt.- 4
Pour egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Scatter the tater tots over the eggs. Sprinkle with the parmesan and remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese. Cook undisturbed until the eggs at the edges of the pan begin to set, 2 to 3 minutes.- 5
Transfer the skillet to the upper oven rack and bake until eggs are just set, 20 to 22 minutes. Heat the broiler to HIGH. Broil until the top of the frittata is golden-brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm.tater tot frittata, tater tot frittata recipe, breakfast frittata with tater tots, easy tater tot breakfast bake, cheesy tater tot frittata, oven baked tater tot frittata, brunch frittata recipe, make-ahead breakfast casserole, potato and egg breakfast bake, family-friendly breakfast recipe, one-pan breakfast bake, tater tot casserole breakfast, tater tot frittata by The Kitchn - 2
