Categories     breakfast, one pot, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 pound slab or other good bacon, cut into 1/4-inch chunks
3 or 4 potatoes, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt and pepper to taste
At least 1 cup shredded cheese, like Gruyère, Emmenthal or Cheddar
6 to 8 eggs

Steps:

  • Put bacon in large nonstick skillet over medium heat; while fat is rendering, peel and grate potatoes (shredding disk of a food processor works great).
  • When bacon is about halfway crisp, spread it evenly in pan, and put potatoes over it; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press the potatoes down with a plate almost as big as pan, and leave plate in place for about 5 minutes. Remove plate, and continue to cook, undisturbed, so potatoes form a cake, and adjusting heat so potatoes brown without burning. When potatoes are brown, slide cake out onto a plate, invert it onto another plate, and slide it back in, cooked side up.
  • Turn on broiler while potatoes brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on potatoes and carefully break eggs into the cheese (if you like softer eggs, put eggs on first, followed by cheese). Broil until cheese melts and eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this potato cake was not good.

This potato cake was a disaster. It fell apart when I tried to flip it.

This potato cake is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

I added some chopped green peppers and onions to the potato mixture and it gave it a nice flavor.

This recipe was easy to follow and the potato cake turned out great! I used cheddar cheese and it was nice and gooey.

I made this for breakfast this morning and it was delicious! The potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the egg and cheese were perfectly melted. I will definitely be making this again.

This potato cake was a hit with my family! The flavors of the egg, cheese, bacon, and potatoes came together perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
