Baked sweet potatos

with Greek yogurt, bacon and chives

per person:

• 1 sweet potato, well scrubbed
• 10 g smoked bacon, cut into small cubes
• 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons of chives, finely chopped
• optional: sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• additionally: aluminum foil

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

Prick the potatoes in several places, wrap in aluminum foil, each separately. Put in a preheated oven and bake until tender (about an hour (check by inserting a knife into the potato)). Unroll soft potatoes partly from foil and keep in the oven for another 10 minutes.

When the potatoes are baked, put the finely chopped bacon into the pan and fry it on low heat, stirring until all the fat melts and the bacon itself is crunchy. Put it on a strainer (put something under it, if you fry a lot of bacon to catch fat – you can use it later to fry e.g. eggs), then pour onto a paper towel, which will absorb the remaining fat.

Cut the baked potatoes at the top, then squeeze at both ends at the same time – they will “open” then, making room for additions. Mix yogurt with bacon, apply to potatoes. Sprinkle with chives and, if you like, salt and pepper.
