Steps:

• Cut bacon into small pieces and fry till almost crisp. Grate potatoes into a bowl, drain off all the liquid into a small bowl. NOW GRANDMAS TIP: Leave the above liquid to sit, then drain off just the clear liquid .Save the thick liquid at the bottom. Return this thick liquid to the bowl of grated potatoes.
• Now add the eggs, and mix well, add the evaporated milk, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup milk and the grated onions. Mix well. Pour into a greased flat pan with sides. The height of potatoes in the pan should not be over 1-1/2 inches high. Bake in a pre-heated 350 oven for 1-1/2 hours.
