  • About

A hearty, rustic meal originally designed to fill and satisfy a body that had worked since daybreak. It also works quite well on a sedentary body that’s been at a computer screen all day.

Ingredients

  • 4 small potatoes, cooked
  • 4 slices of bacon, speck or kaiserfleisch
  • 8

Method

Cut potatoes into thick slices. Cut rind from bacon and cut bacon into small squares.

Fry bacon in a large (25 cm or 10 in diameter) frypan over gentle heat until fat melts and bacon is cooked but not crisp. Remove bacon and pour off most of the fat. Add potato slices and fry on both sides until golden brown.

Beat eggs with salt, pepper and wine, until lightly mixed. Return baco
