Bacon Wrapped Potatoes
These incredible Bacon Wrapped Potatoes are the ultimate three-ingredient appetizer or savory side dish! Tender, perfectly seasoned new potatoes are wrapped in savory bacon and baked until shatteringly crisp.
Ingredients
- 20 small New Potatoes or 10 medium potatoes, cut in half
- 4 slices Bacon
- 1 teaspoon Salt for the boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prep Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water.
- Parboil: Boil 1 quart of water with 1 tsp. salt in a medium pot. Add the potatoes and turn the heat down to low. Let them simmer gently for 12 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain the water completely.
- Prep the Pan: Put the drained potatoes on a greased baking sheet.
- Wrap: Wrap each potato with 1/3 piece of a bacon slice. Make sure the two ends of the bacon are overlapping securely underneath the potato so it does not unravel.
- Bake: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the bacon is fully rendered and crispy.
- Serve: Serve warm as a delicious side dish or arrange on a platter as an appetizer with toothpicks!
Notes
Pro-Tip: Make sure you leave at least an inch of space between each wrapped potato on the baking sheet! Giving them room to breathe allows the hot oven air to circulate properly, ensuring the bacon gets perfectly crispy on all sides instead of steaming.
