"Tiroler Gröstl is one of the hearty favorites from the skiing and hiking region of Tirol. Traditionally, it is a delicious and satisfying way of using up yesterday’s left-overs. It makes a great shared-from-the-pan mountain lunch or breakfast, particularly when combined with a separate pan of Kaiserschmarren."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat a large frying pan, then fry the bacon for a bit until it is almost crispy, but not quite. Add the onion and saute for about 6-10 minutes until the bacon is golden and onion is translucent.
Step 2
Remove the bacon mixture with a slotted spoon, letting the grease drip back into the pan because you will need it to fry up the potatoes.
Step 3
If using ham or sausage, you would cook up these meats by using the oil suggested in the ingredients section.
Step 4
Add the potatoes to the skillet and fry for about 10 minutes until golden.
Step 5
Tip in the caraway, paprika, thyme and season well, add salt and pepper to taste then saute for another minute, stirring to release their fragrance and flavor.
Step 6
Return the bacon and onion back to the skillet, taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Top with cheese and then parsley.
Step 7
Serve hot and - for a real authentic touch - with a fried egg on top.
