Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Let's get everything ready first. Let's free the bacon from the vacuum packaging, as it was in my case. And you cut the desired number of slices in length and width. Let's determine the length, although it has been tested – the more bacon, the tastier the finished product. But you don't need to get carried away too much.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Let's wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them. And then we will decide whether we will cook whole, in slices, or in halves, in raw form, or you have already boiled potatoes, as in my case. By the way, the cooking time depends on this. I separated the required number of small potatoes, which I had frozen as a preparation and already thawed. Baked potatoes also proved to be excellent.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    And then we will flavor the potatoes, cutting the large tubers in half, with olive oil and spices.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Strips of bacon I also flavored well with pepper and spices. I did not put salt, because I do not use it, but you can add salt to taste. If you have a variant of raw smoked pork, then salt, most likely, will not be needed.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put each potato on a strip of pork.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Wrap the potatoes tightly with bacon, and secure with something. It can be a wooden skewer, for example. Or, if there is nothing, then put the potatoes in the mold so that the place of the edge of the bacon is at the bottom – the bacon will grab under the heat and will not turn around.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    All this should be sent in a baking dish, greased with oil, in an oven preheated to 180 degrees.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Forty minutes is quite enough to get such beauties. While the potatoes are hot, they can be sprinkled with grated cheese. Since I still had potatoes left, I baked them in the oven, and then served them together with the finished potatoes in bacon.
