Ingredients

For approximately 20–24 bacon-wrapped baby potatoes, you’ll need:

• 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, preferably similar in size
• 8–10 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
• Toothpicks, if needed

Optional Additions

You can easily give the potatoes a different flavor depending on what you have available. A little grated Parmesan can add a salty, cheesy finish, while a pinch of cayenne pepper gives them some heat.

For serving, ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic aioli, or a creamy herb dip can make a wonderful accompaniment.

How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Baby Potatoes

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly and removing any dirt from their skins. Since baby potatoes have thin, tender skins, there is usually no need to peel them.

Pat them completely dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the potatoes roast rather than steam.

If some potatoes are noticeably larger than the others, cut them in half so that all of the pieces are relatively similar in size. Keeping the potatoes uniform helps them cook evenly.

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Add the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

The olive oil helps the seasonings stick while also encouraging the potatoes to develop a beautifully roasted exterior.

Step 3: Cut the Bacon

Cut each bacon slice into pieces large enough to wrap around a baby potato with a slight overlap.

The exact amount of bacon needed will depend on the size of your potatoes and bacon slices.

For smaller potatoes, a half slice of bacon may be enough. Larger baby potatoes may require a little more.

Step 4: Wrap the Potatoes

Take one seasoned potato and wrap a piece of bacon around its center.

Secure the bacon with a toothpick if it does not stay in place on its own.

Try not to wrap the bacon too tightly. A little space allows heat to circulate around the potato and helps the bacon cook more evenly.

Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
