Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C and generously butter a square or round ovenproof dish.
- Finely grate the potatoes and the onion, then squeeze the pulp to remove the liquid.
- Fry the bacon cubes in a dry pan until golden, then set half aside for the topping.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper, then mix in the grated potatoes, the onion, the starch and the bacon with its fat.
- Pour the mixture into the buttered dish, scatter over the rest of the bacon and a few onion rings.
- Bake for about 1 h 15, until the top is nicely golden and a skewer comes out dry from the centre.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into portions and serving hot, with sour cream if you like.
Variations and tips
Meat-free version. Omit the bacon and add a tablespoon of rapeseed oil along with a pinch of smoked paprika to keep the flavour.
