Accompanied by a green salad it's the best! :-) 

Tasty as can be!

600g potatoes  

2 zucchini 

100g smoked bacon

A frying pan 

Aluminium foil

2. In the meantime, wash the potatoes thoroughly and wrap them in aluminium foil. Put them in the oven at 180° for 1 hour.  

3. At the same time, prepare the smoked bacon by cutting it into lardons. Grill them for about ten minutes in a pan. Drain and set aside.  

4. For the side dish, wash the courgettes, cut them into slices and fry them in a pan with a little butter until they are tender. Season to taste. Set aside.

The MagicTip : you can also accompany this dish with a small salad and for a smokier taste, cook the potatoes on the BBQ (place them near the embers for about 25 minutes).
