How To Make babka--potato & egg casserole, mark's

• Step 1
  Cut the bacon into slivers. In a large skillet, add the bacon and the diced onions and saute until the onions are translucent. Add the Crisco or lard. While the onions are sauteeing, take a large mixing bowl and add the milk and eggs, blending as you add. Grate the potatoes into the mixture. When all the potoatoes are grated, add the contents of the skillet (fat and all) into the contents of the bowl, stirring all the time. When all ingredients are mixed in the bowl, pour into a casserole dish or pan about 2-1/2 to 3 inches high. Bake in a 375F oven for half an hour then reduce heat to 350 and bake an additional half hour or until solid in the middle
• Step 2
  NOTE: Modern cooks will use their food processor to grate the potatoes, but this can be tricky. Since many mechanical graters require a little more liquid to work the potato properly, make sure you drain off the volume of any liquid added (the starchy water that comes from inside the potato is what you want to keep).
