Bacon potatoes
Preparation time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
4 potatoes (about 500 g), 150 g lean bacon,
1 tsp oil, 1 TBSP chopped parsley
Preparation:
Peel the potatoes and slice in thin rounds in the
form of a fan. This can be done easily by placing
the potato on a tablespoon before cutting.
Chop the bacon and distribute between the po-
tato slices.
Oil four pieces of aluminum foil and wrap each
potato fan in the foil. Place the wrapped pota-
toes on the baking sheet.
Bake at the second level from the bottom at
180 °C with top and bottom heat for about 40-
60 minutes.
During the last 10 minutes, open the foil and
finish baking the potatoes.
Sprinkle the hot potatoes with the chopped
parsley and serve in the foil.
TIP:
You can also fill the potatoes with onion rings
and a little garlic. Also, try sprinkling some ca-
raway seed between the slices.
