Potato skewers with bacon and thyme are a simple dinner made with four ingredients: potatoes, bacon, salt and pepper, and thyme. Thread potato slices and bacon alternately onto skewers, season, and bake wrapped in foil at 220°C (425°F) for about half an hour. Red-skinned potatoes work best because they hold their shape during baking.

Instead of store-bought skewers, you can also use cleaned twigs from cherry trees, apple trees, or raspberry canes to give the dish an interesting aroma.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cut the peeled potatoes into slices 5–6 mm thick and the bacon into slices 3 mm thick.
Thread the potatoes and bacon alternately onto skewers.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Season the skewers with salt and pepper and add fresh or dried thyme as needed. Cover with a second sheet of foil and seal the edges.
Bake in an oven preheated to 220°C (425°F) for 30 minutes. Then remove the top sheet of foil, reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F), and bake until the skewers are browned.
Serve with meat, vegetables, or a yogurt dip.

Tip: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes beforehand so they won't burn in the oven after you remove the foil. Thread the potato slices through the center to keep them from breaking.
