  • About

This is a German dish and translates “farmer’s breakfast.” It is a little heavy unless you have to harvest an acre of cabbages right after the milking. Great for lunch and supper, though.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 1 onion, chopped

Method

Lay the bacon in a heavy, cold skillet and cook over medium heat, turning often until crisp. Remove and drain on paper toweling. If necessary, pour off all but 3 tablespoons of fat (into the juice can where you are thriftily conserving your bacon fat). Throw the chopped onion into the pan and cook over medium heat until soft; then add the potato and cook until both are lightly browned. Crumble
