Ingredients
To prepare this dish, you’ll need:
- 500g small potatoes (baby potatoes work best)
- 250g bacon strips (thin-cut preferred)
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for a smoky kick)
- Toothpicks (for securing)
Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Start by thoroughly washing the potatoes to remove any dirt. Since baby potatoes have thin skins, there’s no need to peel them.
Next, parboil the potatoes:
- Place them in a pot of salted water.
- Bring to a boil and cook for about 10–12 minutes until they are just tender but not fully cooked.
- Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
This step ensures that the potatoes cook evenly and become soft on the inside without burning the bacon.
Step 2: Season the Potatoes
Place the slightly cooled potatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Toss gently until all potatoes are evenly coated. This seasoning layer adds depth of flavor and enhances the overall taste of the dish.
