I saw the basics of this recipe in a video someone posted on the facebook but it was all in Danish or Swedish (aka, I could not understand the recipe!) so I improvised what I thought was what and IT.WAS.AMAZING!!! I made it for my Julia Robert’s movie night and while pizza may have been a more appropriate choice for watching Mystic Pizza, this was a huge crowd win!

INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs of bacon
8 new potatoes, boiled, but firm
8 oz cheddar cheese, grated (I used Beechers Flagship Cheddar)
fresh rosemary
Seasonings to taste (salt, garlic powder, paprika, pepper)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In an oven-safe skillet, layer the bacon in a spiral so that alternating pieces are in the center (2 2 in the center, then offset a third piece about an inch back so it doesn’t get too thick in the center).

2. Slice the boiled potatoes into 1/2 inch disks. Create a ring of potato slices around the outer edge, then fill in the center.

3. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, rosemary and any other seasonings (be aware to not over salt as the bacon will be salty). Cover with cheese.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to create a second layer.

5. Fold the strips of bacon into the center, covering the tart.

6. Back the tart for 20 minutes. Raise the temp to 400 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes until the bacon is crispy (I did it for 30 minutes + 7 minutes broil)

7. Drain the rendered fat from the pan.

8. Place a serving dish over the tart and using a towel or potholder to protect your hand, flip the tart over on the plate.

9. Cut and serve!
