Ingredients
Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 1.16 kg before cooking, which is about 290 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). If using an air fryer, preheat it according to the appliance instructions and select the fries setting or a temperature of 200 °C (400 °F).
Cut the bacon into pieces approximately 5 cm long. Wash and slice the potatoes into evenly thick slices so they cook at the same time.
Thread one potato slice onto each skewer, followed by a couple of pieces of bacon, and continue alternating potato and bacon until the skewer is full. Do not overload it; arrange the ingredients neatly, leaving some space between them.
Mix the softened butter with the chopped herbs and, if desired, the garlic. Spread this butter over the potato slices.
Season the skewers with salt and pepper to taste. Place them on a baking sheet and wrap them completely in aluminum foil to retain moisture.
For an air fryer, cook the wrapped skewers at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20 minutes. Then remove the aluminum foil and cook them for 5 more minutes, until the bacon is browned and the potatoes are tender.
For an oven, bake the wrapped skewers at 200 °C (400 °F) for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake for 5 to 7 more minutes using the convection setting, until the surface and bacon are lightly crisp and browned.
Remove the skewers from the oven or air fryer, let them rest for 2 minutes, and serve hot.
Notes
The original post does not specify exact quantities; the listed quantities are an estimate for 4 servings. The cooking time corresponds to the oven method; in an air fryer, it takes approximately 25 minutes. Make sure the potatoes are completely tender before serving. If using wooden skewers, soak them beforehand to prevent them from burning.
