1 bag Baby potatoes (red or white) washed Half pound cooked Bacon,  And reserve the  bacon drippings 1 cup Broth (chicken or beef) 2 tbsp Butter - softened Half Onion - chopped 1 tsp minced Garlic Salt Pepper 1 tsp Parsley The first step is to cook the bacon  and keep the bacon drippings to use  to coat the potatoes. In an oven safe casserole dish  add the baby potatoes.  Pour the bacon fat over the potatoes,  coating them as best you can.  They may look a bit ‘waxy’,  but that is a good thing! Next pour the broth over the potatoes. Mix together the butter, onion, garlic,  salt, pepper, and parsley And then add to the potatoes. Stir it all together,  and bake the potatoes for 55-60 minutes.

Using scissors or a very sharp knife, Butterfly cut the meat. This just means that you cut The steak ALMOST completely in half. Leave one edge well attached And lay open on the counter. OR use fast fry steak. If it is a cheap cut, Take a moment to tenderize With a meat hammer Or stab with a fork. If you are a bit Less than agile with your hands Or are worried about the next step - lay each steak on saran wrap At this point.

If you are using saran wrap Tightly bind the meat around your meat roll And freeze until
