To prepare the dish, fry the potatoes in oil. The oil temperature should be around 300 degrees F. It should be hot enough for the potatoes to crisp. If the potatoes don’t brown during the first fry, it means the oil temperature is too low.

Ensaladilla Rusa

Whether you’re making ensaladilla for a party, a picnic or just as a light meal, there are many ways to prepare this classic Spanish dish. You can serve it chilled or hot, with a side salad or as a main dish. You’ll find that ensaladilla is easy to make at home, and that many of its traditional ingredients are readily available in your kitchen.

Bacon wrapped dates

Adding Bacon wrapped dates to your tapas table is an excellent way to spice up your holiday feast. They are a delicious mix of sweet and salty. They’re simple to prepare and can be made in advance.

You’ll need two simple ingredients to make these delicious treats. First, you’ll need to pierce the pits of the dates with a small paring knife. The pits are easy to remove.

Next, you’ll need to wrap the dates with a half slice of bacon. The bacon should be thin, so you can get uniformly crispy results. Using thicker bacon will take longer to cook.

To finish, you’ll need to add a little bit of honey. You can either drizzle the honey on the dates with a spoon or use a pour spout to drizzle the honey on the dates.

You may choose to wrap your dates in prosciutto instead of bacon, if you like. You can also use goat cheese instead of cream cheese. Alternatively, you could use a combination of goat cheese and blue cheese. Or you could mix some fresh herbs with the goat cheese.

A toothpick is a great way to secure the bacon to the dates. The toothpick can be dipped in brown sugar before pressing it around the date. You can remove the toothpick if you want a more elegant presentation.

A rimmed baking tray lined with parchment paper can be used to bake these dates. You’ll also want to lightly brush the tray with oil.

It’s also a good idea to prepare your dates in advance. You can prepare them up to eight hours in advance. You can then refrigerate them for a couple of days or freeze them for up to one month.
