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 ml 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.

Keeping

Should be eaten immediately once plated up.
