Preparation:
- Cook & prep the potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cook them with the skins on in lightly salted water for about 20 minutes – they should be cooked through but still firm.
- Let them cool slightly, then cut in half lengthwise.
- Use a small spoon to gently scoop out a little from each half (not too much, just enough to create a small well).
- Place on a baking sheet (cut side up), brush with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with fries seasoning “Bacon & Cheese”.
- Fry the bacon
- Fry the bacon in a pan until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Fill & bake
- Fill the wells in the potatoes with a little cheddar.
- Sprinkle the bacon on top.
- Add a bit more cheddar on top for a perfect gratin finish.
- Bake in the oven for about 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Finish
- Slice the spring onions into thin rings.
- Take the finished potato halves out of the oven and garnish with the spring onions.
- Add more fries seasoning to taste if desired.
