Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Grease a 25cm baking dish with a little oil.
- 2
Fry the bacon in a dry pan for 6 minutes until golden, then add the onions and cook for 6 minutes until soft. Set aside.
12 min - 3
Peel and finely grate the potatoes, using the fine side of the grater. Squeeze out and discard most of the liquid in a clean tea towel, then put the potato in a big bowl.
- 4
Beat in the eggs, warm milk, cornflour, salt and pepper, then stir in the bacon and onion mixture. Work quickly as grated potato darkens.
- 5
Pour into the dish and bake for 1 hour until the top is dark golden and crusty and the middle is set.
60 min - 6
Rest for 10 minutes, cut into squares and serve with the soured cream.
