Categories     Potato

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon butter, clarified
6 ounces thick slab bacon, rind removed, fat trimmed, and thinly sliced
2 1/2 lbs baking potatoes, such as Idaho Russets
1 1/4 cups gruyere cheese, freshly grated
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Butter the bottom and sides of a 9" round baking pan.
  • Arrange the bacon slices, spiral fashion, on the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Allow the bacon to drape over the edge and set aside.
  • Peel the potatoes, rinse under cold running water, and pay dry.
  • Slice into thin rounds, rinse again, and dry thoroughly in a thick towel.
  • Arrange one third of the potato slices on top of the bacon, and sprinkle with one third of the cheese.
  • Repeat, creating two additional layers of potatoes and cheese.
  • Fold the overhanging bacon onto the potatoes.
  • Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes offer no resistance when pierced with a knife, 40-50 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and transfer it to a rack.
  • Let it rest, for 15 minutes, so the potatoes will unmold easily.
  • Unmold the potatoes onto a warmed serving platter, season generously with freshly ground black pepper, and serve, cutting into wedges.

Categories     Cheese     Potato     Side     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Bacon     Fall     Winter     Sugar Conscious     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5-ounce/140-grams piece lean bacon, cut into lardons
2 tablespoons/30 grams lard or vegetable oil
2 pounds/900 grams baking potatoes, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper
8 ounces/100 grams Cantal or Gruyère cheese, diced or cut into thin, narrow strips
10-inch/25-cm nonstick frying pan

Steps:

  • Heat the bacon lardons in a 10-inch/25-cm frying pan over medium heat until the fat runs, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let them brown. Remove them with a draining spoon and set aside. Melt the lard in the pan, add the potatoes, and sprinkle them with pepper. The bacon may contribute enough salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the lardons and continue to cook, uncovered, over low heat, tossing or stirring often, until the potatoes are tender and some are browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Don't worry if some of them are crushed, as they will help hold the mixture in a cake.
  • Stir in the cheese, taste, and adjust the seasoning. Press down on the potatoes to level them in the pan. Turn the heat to high and let them cook without stirring until the bottom is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Press on the cake occasionally to hold it together. When done, it should be brown around the edges and starting to pull from the sides of the pan. Take the pan off the heat, run a knife around the edge to loosen the cake, and turn it out onto a warmed platter. Serve hot.

SHREDDED POTATO CAKE WITH EGG AND CHEESE AND BACON



Shredded Potato Cake With Egg And Cheese And Bacon image

Provided by Mark Bittman

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.
