Ingredients

  • 1.5kg potatoes (Maris Piper or King Edwards)
  • 5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp dried mixed herbs
  • 5 garlic cloves crushed
  • 200g brie sliced
  • 8 smoked streaky bacon rashers cut into thirds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)

Method

  1. Step 1

    1. Pre-heat your oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place a potato between the handles of two wooden spoons and then carefully make multiple slices 1/2 a cm apart across your potato, ensuring that you do not slice all the way through (the handles of the spoons should stop your slices going right through your potato). Repeat for all potatoes.

  2. Step 2

    Pop your potatoes in a baking tray and drizzle vegetable oil and mixed herbs. Use your hands to rub over each potato. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper and then add your crushed garlic cloves to the tray.

  3. Step 3

    Pop in the oven for 55 mins, removing halfway through and basting all over in the garlic oil for extra crispiness.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, lay your bacon rashers on a lined baking tray. Mix your olive oil, maple and optional hot sauce and brush all over your rashers. When your hasselbacks have 10 mins left, pop your rashers in the oven.

  5. Step 5

    After 55 mins remove your potatoes from the oven as well as your bacon rashers. The slits within the potatoes should have started to open. Carefully wedge 3 pieces of brie in each potato. Be careful as your potatoes will be hot, and the brie will start to melt. In the remaining slits within each potato slot in a couple of crispy bacon rasher segments.

  6. Step 6

    Remove any burnt, crushed garlic from your baking tray, add your stuffed potatoes and return to the oven for a few mins.

  7. Step 7

    Remove from the oven and serve topped with caramelised onion chutney and thyme for an indulgent potato side like no other this Christmas.
