Method

added removed changed

  1. Added step 1:

    Heat the oven to 175 °C and grease a baking dish of about 23 × 23 cm (or 20 × 30 cm).

    2 min

  2. Added step 2:

    Fry the bacon until crisp and keep its fat.

    10 min

  3. Added step 3:

    Melt the butter. Beat the eggs in a bowl and stir in the evaporated milk, melted butter, salt, pepper and marjoram.

    4 min

  4. Added step 4:

    Peel the potatoes and onion and grate them finely (or use a food processor) into a large bowl, adding a little onion every few potatoes; it helps keep them from turning grey. Don't drain off the liquid.

    20 min

  5. Added step 5:

    Working quickly, stir the bacon and about 4 tbsp of its fat into the potatoes, then the egg mixture. Mix well.

    3 min

  6. Added step 6:

    Pour into the dish and smooth the top.

    1 min

  7. Added step 7:

    Bake for about 90 minutes, until deep golden and crisp on top and set in the middle.

    1 h 30 min

  8. Added step 8:

    Let it rest for 10 minutes so it slices cleanly.

    10 min

  9. Added step 9:

    Cut into squares and serve with sour cream, or applesauce if you like. Leftovers are best sliced thin and fried in butter.
