This is an old Polish favorite around here. Good comfort food!

                                                           5 large red potatoes, grated

                                                           1 large onion

                                                           6 strips of good bacon, cut into smaller pieces

                                                           2 tbs bacon fat

                                                           3 eggs

                                                           1 c milk

                                                           salt and pepper

                                                          1/2 C sharp shedded cheese

                                                          1/4 C italian bread crumbs

This always tastes better in cast iron, so used my good old Lodge fry pan.

Fry up the bacon and onion until onion is translucent. Add the bacon fat. 

In a big bowl, whisk up the eggs and milk. Add the shredded potatoes. mix well.

Then add the bacon and onions, fat and all and mix well, adding your salt and pepper to taste. After mixing that all in well, transfer back to the cast iron pan and bake around 30 minutes at 375F.

Here it is going into the oven.................

And here it is all baked and ready to eat!
