Step by step recipe

1	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.
2	When cold, cut the bacon into shorter pieces.
3	Slice 150 g cheese (Cheddar here) fairly thinly.
4	Wash the potatoes thoroughly (the skins are for eating) and boil them until tender.
5	When cooked, cut several vertical slices, without cutting all the way through.
6	Slip a piece of bacon and/or cheese into each slot.
7	Brush the skins of the potatoes with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
8	Finish with a slice of cheese on the top, if you wish...
9	...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.
