The tubers are languishing in foil, steamed, saturated with garlic aroma and melted bacon fat. Delicious and aromatic, soft and crumbly, incredibly tasty potatoes with bacon will not leave anyone indifferent. I note that in warm weather, the dish according to this recipe can be cooked outdoors on coals, but then the tubers need to be wrapped in thicker foil.
You can stuff the root crop in any way. For example, with an accordion, a boat, cut into two or three halves, make vertical slots, which are filled with bacon. There are many options and every chef can find a suitable one for himself. You can simply wrap the tubers with a slice of ham and string them on a wooden stick. In any case, the result of the dish will be amazing …
Both young potatoes and old tubers are suitable for the recipe. A young vegetable can be cooked in a peel, and an old one can be cooked without it or with a peel. This is the chef's choice. You can safely replace bacon with pure lard or with meat layers, and spices - a huge scope for creativity.
