KUGELIS

Steps:

• 1. Cook bacon until crispy. Set aside to cool and let the bacon fat cool as well. When bacon is cool, chop finely in food processor.
• 2. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper as well as the reserved bacon fat. Add bacon and mix well.
• 3. Peeled potatoes should be shredded as the last step to keep them from turning color. Shred onion with the potato. Mix potatoes/onion with the egg mixture completely and pour into a greased baking dish. (I used a 10 x 15.)
• 4. Bake and test for doneness at 1 hour. Like a cake, it will pull from the sides of the pan and a knife should come out clean.
• 5. Slice and serve with sour cream on top. This can also be sliced thin and fried with butter as a side with eggs for breakfast.
