Potato boats
Description
My family absolutely loves this dish, and whenever I make it, our home turns into a little celebration. Even though it's actually a very simple recipe for potato boats with minimal ingredients.

Step 3
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, and to help them stand firmly, make a small cut on the bottom. On top of each potato, place a piece of bacon and a piece of cheese, then secure everything in the center with a toothpick.

Step 4
Place the boats in a preheated oven at 180 degrees and cook for about an hour. After an hour, check the readiness by carefully piercing the potato with a knife. If the knife goes in easily, the boats are ready.

Step 5
And the final step is making the sails. Cut thin slices of cheese and attach them to a toothpick. This way, we get a beautiful little fleet at home. Create waves from lettuce leaves, and our little boats are ready to set sail for the festive table.
