Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

If not already sliced, slice the bacon into thin rashers.

Lay on a baking sheet and cook at 360°F (180°C) until nicely browned (about 15 minutes), or cook under the grill.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

When cold, cut the bacon into shorter pieces.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Slice 150 g cheese (Cheddar here) fairly thinly.

Stage 4 - 20 min.

Wash the potatoes thoroughly (the skins are for eating) and boil them until tender.

Stage 5 - 4 min.

When cooked, cut several vertical slices, without cutting all the way through.

Stage 6 - 7 min.

Slip a piece of bacon and/or cheese into each slot.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Brush the skins of the potatoes with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Finish with a slice of cheese on the top, if you wish...

Stage 9 - 10 min.

...and bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Serve with a green salad, if possible.

Remarks

Use fairly large potatoes to make assembling the wallets easier.

You can use smoked bacon, if you prefer the flavour.
