      Title: BACON POTATO PIE
 Categories: Casseroles
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb Bacon, thick-sliced
           -and lean
      1    Onion
      1 lb Baking potatoes
    1/2 lb Cheddar cheese
      8    Eggs
 
  Cut the bacon slices into square pieces.  Fry the pieces until
  well-cooked, then drain on paper towels.
  
  Peel the potatoes, then grate them.  To prevent the grated potatoes
  from discoloring while you prepare the other ingredients, you can put
  them into a bowl of cold water. When you're ready to use them, be
  sure to drain well and squeeze them dry.
  
  Grate the cheese.  Mince the onion.  Butter a 9x13 inch shallow baking
  dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  
  Beat the eggs in a large bowl.  Add all the other ingredients and
  stir. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and bake in the preheated
  oven for about 45 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked. Serve hot,
  warm or at room temperature.
  
  NOTES:
  
  *  A brunch casserole with potatoes, eggs, bacon and cheese -- This
  is a very easy brunch dish, similar to a fritatta in texture, but
  full of traditional breakfast ingredients. The recipe comes from a
  cookbook published by the _Contra Costa (California) Times_
  newspaper, called "Tastes of the Times." Yield: Serves 4-6.
  
  *  It really does make a difference if you use good meaty bacon for
  this. I find the best bacon at my local butcher shop.
  
  *  You can prepare part of this ahead.  I think egg dishes are better
  if they haven't been refrigerated. So if you want to work ahead, you
  can cook the bacon, grate the cheese and potatoes and mince the onion
  the night before. Store all these things separately in the
  refrigerator, covering the potatoes with water. Then in the morning
  just mix it all up and bake it.
  
  : Difficulty:  moderate (tedious).
  : Time:  30 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking and cooling.
  : Precision:  approximate measurement OK.
