When cold, cut the bacon into shorter pieces. - 3 min.

When cooked, cut several vertical slices, without cutting all the way through. - 7 min.
Slip a piece of bacon and/or cheese into each slot. - 2 min.
Brush the skins of the potatoes with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking. - 1 min.
Finish with a slice of cheese on the top, if you wish... - 10 min.
