We give an easy proof of the fact that $C^\infty$ solutions to non-linear elliptic equations of second order $$ \phi(x, u, D u, D^2 u)=0 $$ are analytic. Following ideas of Kato, the proof uses an inductive estimate for suitable weighted derivatives. We then conclude the proof using Cauchy's method of majorants}.
