These savory and crispy bacon-wrapped potato bites are the perfect appetizer or snack! Golden baby potatoes are wrapped in smoky bacon, baked to perfection, and paired with a tangy dipping sauce for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
- 1 lb baby potatoes, washed and halved
- 1 lb bacon, cut into thirds
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Toothpicks (soaked in water for 10 minutes, if using wooden ones)
Optional Dipping Sauce:
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top, if available, to allow better airflow. - Prepare Potatoes:
In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. - Wrap in Bacon:
Wrap each potato half in a piece of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Place the bacon-wrapped potatoes seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack. - Bake:
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the potatoes are tender. Turn the bites halfway through baking for even crispiness. - Make the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
In a small bowl, mix sour cream, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. - Serve:
Allow the bacon-wrapped potato bites to cool slightly, then serve warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
Enjoy these bite-sized delights as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or a satisfying snack!
