Prepare the ingredients
After buying, wash the potatoes thoroughly. Use a knife to make vertical cuts along the potato until it runs out, being careful not to cut the potato completely.
After cutting, soak the sliced potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes to prevent them from turning brown.
Tip:
- To make the baked potatoes crispy and more flavorful, you do not need to peel the outer skin of the potatoes.
- Additionally, to cut the potatoes without them falling apart, place the potato between 2 chopsticks.
-
Prepare the other ingredients
Cut the cheese into 6 small pieces that are about the same size as the potato slices. Peel the garlic, wash it clean, and mince it. Chop the rosemary finely.
Next, you should chop the smoked meat into small pieces!
Put the butter in the microwave and defrost it for about 20 to 25 seconds until it completely melts.

Brush butter and bake potatoes
After the butter has completely melted. Take the butter out, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper to the butter bowl, then stir well to enhance the flavor of the dish!
Next, spread the butter on each slice of potato, making sure to cover the potato evenly!
Then, place the potatoes in the oven and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 1 hour until the potato skin is crispy and the inside is soft.
-
Fry bacon
While waiting for the potatoes to cook, place a pan on the stove, add oil, and fry the bacon until golden and crispy. Place the fried bacon on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
-
Baked Potatoes
After the potatoes are baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool for about 3 minutes, then continue to add cheese in between the potato slices. Cut the remaining cheese into strips and sprinkle it on the surface of the potatoes.
Then, put the potatoes back into the oven for 5 minutes at the same temperature so the cheese melts completely.

Completion
Take the potatoes out of the oven. Drizzle sour cream or yogurt and finely chopped rosemary over the potatoes. Continue to sprinkle bacon on top. Your dish is now complete!

How to Choose Good and Tasty Potatoes
- You should choose potatoes that feel firm, heavy, are intact, and have a smooth skin surface.
- Yellow potatoes will be tastier and sweeter than those that are slightly white.
- Do not choose shriveled potatoes, those that feel soft when squeezed, have black eyes, are infested, or leaking water.
- Absolutely avoid potatoes with skin turning green or sprouted potatoes as they are extremely dangerous to health.
