SHEEPHERDER'S POTATOES
5 to 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cooked
12 strips bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
1 small onion, finely chopped
EGG MIXTURE:
8 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped OR 1 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crushed
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional: Green onion and fresh parsley *NOTE
THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU SERVE:
Pre-cook potatoes and slice them. Cook bacon and crumble; cover and refrigerate both overnight.
IN THE MORNING:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 11-3/4x7-1/2x3/4" baking dish.
Saute onion until tender and translucent and set aside.
In prepared pan, layer sliced potates, bacon and onion.
In a medium bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt,pepper, parsley and thyme; and beat well.
Pour egg mixture gently over potatoes.
Bake for 25 minutes or until egg mixture is
almost set.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake a further 5
minutes until cheese melts and egg mixture is set.
*Note: Using the fresh parsley looks very attractive. You could substitute
the regular onion with the green part of
green onion, omitting the parsley.
