[Homemade] Steak & Eggs on a Potato Pancake

Breakfast. It's what's for dinner. 😆

I needed to shred some cheese and I had extra potatoes..since I had the shredder out anyway….

After finishing the cheese do a couple potatoes and strain them through a cheese cloth. They don't have to be completely dry but you don't want them dripping when you give them a squeeze through the cloth. Letting them sit while the bacon cooks also helps, if they start to oxidize/turn color just ignore it, they'll be fine after cooking. Don't be afraid to over season these, I used salt, pepper, and garlic, and still needed some more after cooking, usually I go light on the salt if I'm cooking stuff in bacon fat but these potatoes need some extra 😂

Remove the bacon but leave the grease on medium-low heat, basically as hot as it'll go without the grease smoking. Start with a bottom layer of potato, onion, bacon, cheddar, and a top layer of potato. Press it down into the pan to flatten it and let it cook. This can take a bit, I didn't time it but if I had to guess it was probably 20-30 min. As the edges start to crisp tuck them in to help it hold shape when it comes time to flip. You'll know it's ready when it starts to loosen up and you can get a spatula under it without it falling apart. Flip it out into a plate then flip it back into the pan upside down, give it another press, and let it cook until that side browns. Make sure it's not sticking then set the whole pan aside to keep it warm.

SPPOG rub a steak, start it in a warm pan with the fat edge down, and turn up the heat. When it starts to sizzle, sear the rest of it. I like it rare and at this point it's done for me 😂 cook it to your preference.

While it rests, fry an egg in the steak fat, then throw it all on the potato pancake and enjoy!
