- .RZ "BACON POTATO PIE" "A brunch 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. The recipe
- comes from a cookbook published by the Contra Costa (California)
- \fITimes\fR newspaper, called "Tastes of the Times".

- .SK 1
- Cut the bacon slices into square pieces.
- Fry the pieces until well-cooked, then drain on
- paper towels.
- .SK 2
- Peel the potatoes, then grate them. To prevent the
- grated potatoes from discoloring while you prepare
- the other ingredients, you can put them into a bowl
- of cold water. When you're ready to use them, be sure
- to drain well and squeeze them dry.
- .SK 3
- Grate the cheese. Mince the onion.
- .SK 4
- Butter a
- .AB "9\(mu13 inch" "22\(mu33 cm"
- shallow baking dish. Preheat the oven to
- .TE 350 175 .
- .SK 5
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients
- and stir. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and bake
- in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the
- eggs are cooked. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

- It really does make a difference if you use good meaty bacon
- for this. I find the best bacon at my local butcher shop.
- .PP
- You can prepare part of this ahead. I think egg dishes are
- better if they haven't been refrigerated. So if you want to
- work ahead, you can 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.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- moderate (tedious).
- .I Time:
- 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking and cooling.
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
