8 medium potatoes, peeled
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
6 slices bacon, chopped and cooked crisp
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 sleeve Ritz crackers, crushed
3 tablespoons melted butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Cook potatoes in water to cover until tender. Drain. Place butter, cubed into a large bowl. Using a potato ricer, rice potatoes into bowl over butter. Add milk and mash together. When partially cool, add beaten egg.
After bacon is cooked, place on paper towels. Discard all but about 3 tablespoons of bacon fat. Add onion and cook until onion is slightly browned. Add bacon, onion and Parmesan cheese to the potatoes and mix together.
Place potato mixture into a greased casserole dish. Mix crushed crackers with melted butter and sprinkle over the top. Bake in 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until cracker crumbs are golden brown.
