Directions:
Preheat the oven to 220°C (450°F) or 200°C (400°F) for convection. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 4-5 cm pieces. Boil two liters of water in a large pot and add salt, baking soda, and potatoes. Stir, then bring to a boil again and reduce heat to simmer, cooking for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes and let them rest in the pot for 30 seconds. In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until fluffy. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes without moving. Flip with a spatula and bake for an additional 30 minutes, flipping occasionally until golden brown and crispy. Meanwhile, slice the onion into thin strips. Sprinkle the potatoes with bacon, onion, and cheese, and bake until the bacon is crispy and cheese is melted. Finely chop the chives and season the light crème fraîche with salt and pepper. Serve the potatoes with sour cream and chives. Enjoy your meal!
