Step by step recipe

Step 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Chop 2 shallots.

Step 2 - ⌛ 2 min.

Melt 2 tablespoons goose fat in a frying pan.

Step 3 - ⌛ 3 min.

Put in 1 kg 500 g cooked potatoes sliced, in a single layer.

Step 4 - ⌛ 10 min.

After 5 minutes turn over potato slices, and cook until golden brown.

Don't salt at this stage, otherwise your potatoes will stick.

Step 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Put onto absorbant paper to remove the excess fat.

Repeat operation until all potatoes are cooked.

Step 6 - ⌛ 2 min.

Clean the frying pan, melt the remaining fat, add chopped shallots, salt and pepper, and cook 1 or 2 minutes.

Step 7 - ⌛ 1 min.

Add 100 g small pieces of bacon.

Step 8 - ⌛ 4 min.

And cook for a further 3 or 4 minutes.

Note: Everything so far can be prepared in advance (the day before or so). But what follows must be done at the last minute for a better and crusty result.

Step 9 - ⌛ 2 min.

Put cooked potato slices back in the frying pan.

Step 10 - ⌛ 5 min.

Mix well and reheat on medium heat.

Step 11 - ⌛ 1 min.

Taste and adjust seasoning.

Step 12

It's ready !

Serve piping hot, alone or with a good green salad.

Remarks

In the swiss version, potatotes are grated rather than sliced (thanks to Nicole for this detail).

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
