Place finely chopped garlic and strips of hard cheese into each potato cylinder, then sprinkle additional finely grated cheese on top. Put the potato "bomb" into the oven for 20 minutes (at 180 degrees). During this time, the bacon will become crispy and the cheese will melt, resulting in a delicious dish!
