so i'm eating a lot of vegetables-du-season, cause im short on moneys, they're cheap, and it's healthy.
- cut up some potatoes, nuke em with water until done, (remove water), set aside
- start bakin some bacon strips and garlic
- cut up some carrots, nuke em with water until nearly done
- cut up some onions, add to the bacon etc
- cut up some green common beans, nuke em with water until nearly done (i like my microwave, leaves me with less stuff to clean up after)
- add the carrots to the frying stuff, and the beans a bit later as well, oh and i had half a red bell pepper left over, so throw that in as well
- combine the potatoes with milk, 3 eggs, some hunks of cheese, some spices (nutmeg, thyme, something or other), stock powder, pepper in a long container, for application of the blender-on-a-stick (i have a new one and it's making me soooo happy)
- the stuff will turn into a very thick mashed-potatoe-like substance almost immediately. which surprised me a little cause i was expecting something more fluid. but it makes sense, because of the potatoes.
- now put the fried veggies+bacon at the bottom of a buttered glass oven dish, and top with the potatoe-goo.
- cook it for ~25-30 minutes in a preheated oven at 400F (200C). i covered the top with aluminium foil the first 14 minutes, but i dunno if it's necessary.
it will look like this, and taste very yummy:

some variation ideas for next time:
- if i would have had breadcrumbs ready, i'd have added them on top.
- a slightly more crazy idea, to blend some baking powder through the goo at the last moment, and then use one small layer of goo, followed by the veggies/bacon, followed by a second layer of goo .. cause it will rise and turn into some kind of cake or something. i dunno, this was my idea at first, but i semi forgot and was hungry.
That looks DELICIOUS!
I was inspired to make a bacon fritatta.

put an oven dish around it and you got pretty much the same thing, no? ;-)
Yes, except the potatoes were in chunks and not pureed, but it turned out DELICIOUS.
