Bechamel potatoes

Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 500 g jacket potatoes
  • 1 large onion(s)
  • 125 g bacon, fatty or streaky
  • 2 tbsp margarine
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • Milk
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Parsley or chives

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Peel and dice the onions. Dice the bacon. Heat both together with the margarine in a saucepan and fry until the onions are translucent. Dust with flour, stir, and continue frying for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Next, add a quarter liter of milk and allow to thicken slowly while stirring. Then slowly add the milk in small portions until the sauce only drips thickly from the spoon – stir constantly so that nothing sticks. Season with salt and sugar. Chop plenty of parsley or chives and stir into the sauce. Meanwhile, the potatoes are cooked. Peel them and immediately slice them into the sauce, tossing them well into the sauce. Fried or boiled eggs go particularly well with this recipe. The recipe can also be made vegetarian, i.e. without bacon.
