Easy-peasy hasselback bacon potatoes
Hasselback potatoes look and taste like gourmet specialties but are ridiculously easy to make. Start by washing and scrubbing the potatoes for dirt and other particles. Cut slits across each potato without going through the bottom. Place a piece of bacon in several slits at random. Put the potatoes in a casserole dish, and season with salt. Sprinkle on a bit of thyme and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the potatoes. Serve with a juicy steak or baked poultry dish.
