Cooking method

Cooking time: 1 h 45 min

1. Thoroughly wash medium-sized potatoes under running water, after which we clean them. We put the potatoes in a saucepan of a suitable size, pour water so that the root crops are completely covered with it. We put the pan on high heat, bring the contents to a boil, then reduce the heat to moderate and cook the potatoes for 15 minutes (almost ready, when the potatoes are already soft, but still retain some rigidity, do not boil it). Then turn off the heating, and put the potatoes in cold water for 5 minutes to cool. Then put the potatoes in the freezer for 15 minutes.

2. While the potatoes are being cooked, we continue cooking in parallel. Peel the red onion from the husk, cut the bulbs into halves and chop them thinly. You can do it across or along (if along, then the onion will be somewhat juicier). We put a medium-sized frying pan on low heat, put butter (30 grams) in it, pour olive oil and wait for the butter to melt, and then the mixture warms up enough. As soon as this happens, we put the chopped onion in the pan, mix, reduce the heat to the lowest and cook the onion until it is caramelized for 20-25 minutes on low heat. Stir the onion from time to time. After removing the pan from the heat, put the onion in a separate bowl. We leave a third for serving, two thirds will be used in cooking.

3. Turn on the oven to warm up to 120 degrees Celsius.

4. Remove the cooled potatoes from the freezer and put them on a coarse grater, then season with salt and ground black pepper, mix well so that they are evenly distributed. We divide the grated potatoes into 8 equal parts. Three grated hard cheese.

5. Preheat the frying pan with the remaining oil, add the remaining butter, melt. We put 2 parts of potatoes in a frying pan, level them with a spatula into a thin cake. We spread caramelized onions on both tortillas - for each quarter (we divide the whole onion into about four parts). Pour the cheese on top, which we also divide into 4 parts. Fry the potato tortilla for 4-5 minutes, then spread it on top under the potato pieces, level it with a spatula, press it down, carefully turn it over and fry the "sandwich" on the other side for 4-5 minutes. It turns out a potato sandwich with cheese filling. The potatoes should be gilded, and the cheese should melt. We remove the potato sandwiches from the pan, put them on a plate, which we remove to the preheated oven so that the sandwiches do not cool down.

6. Repeat all the same with the remaining products to fry 2 more potato sandwiches.

7. Wipe the pan with paper towels to soak up the remaining oil, then put it on medium heat. Cut the bacon into cubes and put them in a preheated frying pan. Fry the bacon for 5-10 minutes, stirring, until golden and crispy. After that, we put the bacon in a plate and also put it in the preheated oven.

8. Fry eggs on the fat melted from bacon. Eggs must first be thoroughly washed and dried with a towel. It will be convenient to break them into a bowl one at a time and carefully pour them into the pan. Egg yolks should preferably be left whole. In the process, we salt the eggs. While the eggs are frying, we wash and dry the green onions, chop them finely.

9. We serve. In each serving plate we put a potato sandwich, a fried egg, a fourth part of bacon, decorate with caramelized onions left for serving. Sprinkle the scrambled eggs with ground black pepper and chopped green onions. We call everyone to the table before breakfast gets cold!
