Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped onion

1-1/2 cups coarsely grated, peeled baking potatoes

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 slices of lean bacon, chopped

4 large eggs

4 (1/4-inch thick) slices of tomatoes

Basil Hollandaise (see recipe below)

4 basil sprigs (garnish )

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the onion, grated potatoes, salt, pepper, and bacon. For each pancake, spread 1/2 cup of mixture on a hot oiled grill or skillet, keeping pancakes two inches apart. Cook over low heat, undisturbed, for 20 minutes. Increase heat to medium and cook the pancakes for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until the undersides are browned. Turn the pancakes and cook them another 10 minutes. NOTE: The pancakes may be kept warm in a preheated 250° F oven for up to 30 minutes while you poach the eggs.

Poach the eggs. I use a microwave egg poacher, but you can do them anyway you please.

To serve, arrange the potato pancakes on heated serving plates, top each one with a tomato slice, and then top each tomato with a hot poached egg. Spoon some of the Basil Hollandaise over the eggs. Garnish with the basil sprigs and serve.

The basil hollandaise sauce follows. You can make this while the potato pancakes are frying.

Basil Hollandaise:

1/2 cup unsalted butter

2 large egg yolks

4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

1 cup packed basil leaves

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and keep it warm. In a blender or food processor blend the egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard and basil leaves for 5 seconds. With the motor running add the melted butter in a stream and season with salt and pepper.

Makes approximately 1 cup.
