Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Finely slice 200 g belly (streaky) bacon (if not already sliced) and lay out flat on a sheet of cooking parchment. Cook in the oven at 360°F (180°C) for 10 minutes.

This is just to lightly pre-cook the bacon, rather than cook it completely.

Leave the oven on after this.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Peel 500 g cooked potatoeses. You should have the same number of potatoes as bacon slices.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Cut a small slice off one end of each potato so that they will stand upright in the dish.

Stage 4

Butter a gratin dish.

Put a sage leaf and half a bayleaf on each potato, roll up in a slice of bacon and stand in the dish.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

Prepare all the potatoes like this, packing them tight together. Drizzle a little olive oil over.

Stage 6 - 25 min.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Remarks

If possible, use herb olive oil, rather than ordinary, to drizzle over the potatoes before they go in the oven.

Keeping

Several days in the fridge, covered in plastic film.
