Ingredients
Large Russet Potatoes
6-8 (Peel and slice about 1/2 inch thick)
Bacon
1/2 lb (Cut into 2 inch pieces, reserved 3 slices for topping)
Hard-Boiled Eggs
8 (Cool and slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a pot, peel and slice the russet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Cook them in salted boiling water until just tender, about 10 minutes—avoid overcooking. Drain the potatoes and run them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
2
In a frying pan, cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces. Cook the majority of the bacon until it becomes slightly crispy. Set aside 3 raw bacon slices for the casserole. Save some bacon fat for enhancing flavor later.
3
Once the eggs are hard-boiled, allow them to cool slightly. Slice the eggs crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
4
In a deep casserole dish, start layering: Place 1/3 of the cooked potatoes on the bottom, followed by 1/3 of the sliced eggs, and 1/2 of the cooked bacon. Repeat this layering process.
5
For the top layer, add the remaining potatoes and eggs, and arrange the reserved raw bacon pieces on the surface. Drizzle any remaining bacon fat over the casserole for added flavor.
6
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top bacon layer is perfectly crisp.
7
Once baked, let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this comforting and delicious meal!
