Not very healthy, but easy to prepare, tasty, satisfying dish. You can make potatoes in bacon with sauce in 45-50 minutes. Potatoes baked in meat “clothes” are more fragrant and juicier than usual. The main thing is to pre-boil the tubers so that they reach the condition before the bacon burns in a preheated oven.
Ingredients:
- potatoes (preferably small or young) - 0.5 kg;
- smoked bacon (or raw) - 250 grams;
- cream (15-20% fat) - 50 ml;
- mayonnaise (72% fat) - 1 tablespoon;
- garlic - 1-2 cloves;
- butter - for greasing the baking sheet;
- greens (dill and parsley) - to taste;
- ground black pepper - to taste;
- salt - to taste.
Small young potatoes are ideal. Instead of smoked bacon, you can use raw meat, in which case the time spent in the oven (14th stage) should be increased to 20 minutes or baked in foil for 10-15 minutes. Cream is replaced with high-fat sour cream or natural yogurt without additives.
