Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the 4 potatoes and cut them into thin slices. You want them to be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cut the bacon strips into small pieces.
- Chop the onion finely.
- Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until it starts to crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Mince the 2 garlic cloves and add them in the last minute of cooking, stirring to combine.
Lightly grease a baking dish (around 9x13 inches). Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in the dish.
Spread the bacon and onion mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Arrange the remaining sliced potatoes on top of the bacon mixture.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs.
- Add 1/3 cup of light sour cream and 2 tbsp of tomato puree.
- Whisk together until well combined.
8. Pour Egg Mixture:
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and bacon.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure you slice the potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Opt for a waxy potato variety like Yukon Gold for a creamier texture.
- Cook the bacon until it's just crispy to add a nice textural contrast to the dish.
- For a deeper flavor, consider sautéing the onion and garlic in the bacon fat instead of discarding it.
- Let the bake rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the flavors to meld together and make serving easier.
This Creamy Bacon and Potato Bake is a delightful combination of simple ingredients that come together to create a dish full of comfort and flavor. Whether you're making it for a family dinner or a potluck, this bake is sure to impress.
