Baked Potatoes With Bacon and Cheese
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
For baked potatoes, peel the tubers and slice them into thin rounds about 2 to 3 mm thick, ideally on a mandoline. The thinner the slice, the faster it softens in the oven.
- 2
Cut the bacon into short strips and heat the oven to 200 degrees. Rub the baking dish with a piece of bacon or a pinch of fat so the slices do not stick.
- 3
Coarsely grate the cheese and set it aside. Keep half for the layers inside and the other half for the top crust.
Baking
- 4
Arrange the first layer of slices in the dish so they slightly overlap. Season with salt and pepper, scatter over some of the bacon strips and sprinkle with a handful of cheese. Repeat until the ingredients run out.
- 5
Top with the remaining cheese and put the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the slices soften and the cheese joins into a golden crust. The tip of a knife should slide through them without resistance.
TIP:Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between them. If they are crowded, they will steam instead of roast. Place them cut side down so that side gets the crispiest.
- 6
Let the bake rest for 5 minutes so the layers hold together. Serve straight from the dish, ideally with a light leafy salad.
More tips:
Slice them as thin and even as possible so they bake through evenly.
Instead of edam, use any cheese that melts well, such as gouda or emmental.
