- Cook the onions in a small amount of bacon fat until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add to the bacon pieces& stir the mixture.

- Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 30 minutes or until starting to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven& let rest for 5 minutes.
- Cover with a piece of foil or parchment and, using your hand, gently compress the pie so it will hold together better.
- Run a thin spatula or knife around the edges& a little of the pan bottom to loosen the potatoes from the edge.
- Invert onto a serving platter, gently remove the parchment and cut into wedges or slices.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
