Bacon Potato Pie




Source of Recipe


from alicia's kitchen newsletter a while back
A casserole with potatoes, eggs, bacon and cheese -- This is a very easy brunch dish, similar to a fritatta in texture, but full of traditional breakfast ingredients.

Bacon Potato Pie

1 pound bacon, thick-sliced and lean
1 onion
1 pound baking potatoes
1/2 pound Cheddar cheese
8 eggs

Cut the bacon slices into square pieces.
Fry the pieces until well-cooked, then drain on paper towels.
Peel the potatoes, then grate them.
To prevent the grated potatoes from discoloring while you prepare
the other ingredients, put into a bowl of cold water.
When ready to use them, drain well and squeeze dry.
Grate the cheese.
Mince the onion.
Butter a 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking dish.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat the eggs in a large bowl.
Add all the other ingredients and stir.
Pour the mixture into the baking dish.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked.
Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
Serves 4-6.

NOTES:
- It really does make a difference if good meaty bacon
is used for this.

- this can be prepared ahead.
Cook the bacon, grate the cheese and potatoes and mince the
onion the night before.
Store all these things, separately, in the refrigerator,
covering
the potatoes with water.
Then in the morning just mix it all up and bake it.
