Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Chop 6 shallots.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Melt 6 tablespoons goose fat in a frying pan.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Put in 4 kgs 500 g cooked potato sliced, in a single layer.

Stage 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.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Put onto absorbant paper to remove the excess fat.

Repeat operation until all potatoes are cooked.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

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

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Add 300 g small pieces of bacon.

Stage 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.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Put cooked potato slices back in the frying pan.

Stage 10 - 5 min.

Mix well and reheat on medium heat.

Stage 11 - 1 min.

Taste and adjust seasoning.

Stage 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.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
