Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Wash the potatoes and cook in boiling water for 20-30 minutes. In the meantime dice bacon. Peel and finely dice onions. Cut chives into small rolls. Cut gherkins lengthwise into slices.

2. 2

   Drain the potatoes and rinse with cold water. Immediately prick the potatoes with a fork and peel the skin with a small kitchen knife.

3. 3

   Let the potatoes cool slightly, then cut into 4-5 mm thin slices.

4. 4

   It's sizzling now! Heat 1 tbsp. lard in a pan with lid (approx. 20 cm Ø) and fry approx. ¼ of the potatoes in it at medium heat while turning for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. After approx. 4 minutes add ¼ bacon and onions and fry them as well.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, whisk 3 eggs per serving in a bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes and allow to set.

6. 6

   Shortly before the mixture becomes really firm (= stagnant), remove the farmer's breakfast from the edge of the pan with a spatula. With the help of the spatula and a tablespoon, fold over the centre of the pan, cover and allow to set for 4-5 minutes.

7. 7

   Slide the farmer's breakfast onto a plate, possibly keep it warm in the oven (approx. 50 °C). Also conjure up 3 more farmer's breakfasts. Topped with chives and cucumbers at the end... To the fork, ready, breakfast! Or is it lunchtime?.
