1 cup milk
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes until slightly golden and tender.
Add the chopped onion and cooked sausage or bacon to the skillet. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Spread the potato mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried herbs.
