WRAPPED POTATO WITH BACON
A wrapped potato with bacon is a delicious dish that combines the flavors of crispy bacon and tender potato. It’s a popular appetizer or side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with other ingredients.
Here’s a simple recipe to make a wrapped potato with bacon:
Ingredients:
- Potatoes (small to medium-sized)
- Bacon slices
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Optional: grated cheese, chopped herbs (such as parsley or chives), sour cream (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. You want them to be bite-sized pieces.
- Wrap each potato piece with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed. Make sure the bacon is tightly wrapped around the potato.
- Place the wrapped potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Leave some space between each piece for even cooking.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the wrapped potatoes, and you can optionally add grated cheese or herbs for extra flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Once cooked, remove the toothpicks if used and transfer the wrapped potatoes to a serving platter. Serve them hot as an appetizer or a side dish. You can also provide sour cream as a dipping sauce if desired.
