Preparation

How to prepare Potato, Cheese, and Bacon Bites

To prepare the potato, cheese, and bacon bites, first peel the new potatoes 1. Then place them in a pot full of lightly salted water and boil them for about 20 minutes 2. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife 3 or a toothpick; if the potato slides off easily, it means it is cooked.

Once cooked, drain the potatoes 4 and let them cool. Meanwhile, pour some oil into a baking dish 5 and use a brush to grease the entire surface 6.

As soon as the potatoes are cold, take one and wrap a slice of cheese around it 7. Then take one of the bacon slices and use it to secure the cheese 8. Place another slice of bacon along the other side to form a cross 9.

At this point, place the bite in the baking pan 10 and continue in the same way with the others 11. Cook in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, then take out 12 and serve your potato, cheese, and bacon bites while still hot!

Storage

It is recommended to consume the potato bites just after preparation; alternatively, they can be stored for a maximum of 1 day in the refrigerator, sealed in an airtight container.

Tip

If you don't like Emmental, you can use any other cheese that allows for easily "rollable" slices, such as processed cheese slices or scamorza, smoked or not. To further reduce preparation time, you can use pre-boiled new potatoes, which are vacuum-packed and available at the supermarket. In any case, the result will be guaranteed.

You can accompany the potato bites with some creme fraiche to add a touch of acidity!
