Fry them in oil with salt and one tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, until soft, golden, and aromatic. 2 Prepare the bacon Remove the skin from the fresh bacon using a sharp knife. Slice it into long strips about 1 cm thick. 3 Grate the potatoes Grate the peeled potatoes using an electric grater for best texture and ease. 4 Balance the moisture Transfer the grated potatoes to a large bowl. Ladle out 250–400 ml of potato liquid and replace it with the same amount of milk. 5 Season the mixture Add the beaten eggs, generous salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and the fried onions. Mix thoroughly until well combined. 6 Assemble the babka Grease a baking dish with butter or margarine. Lay the bacon slices on the bottom, then slowly pour the potato mixture over the top. Dot with a little extra butter and cover. 7 Bake to perfection Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C / 347°F for 90 minutes. Uncover, increase the temperature to 200°C / 392°F, and bake for another 30 minutes, until the top is crispy and beautifully browned. 🔥 Serving Suggestions Serve hot with pickled cucumbers or sour cream Enjoy as a side dish with roasted meats Best next-day version: slice thick pieces and pan-fry until golden brown 👉 Crispy outside, soft and creamy inside — absolutely irresistible!
