Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 12 slices bacon, cut in half
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Ranch dressing or sour cream for serving (optional)

Equipment Needed

• Large baking sheet
• Parchment paper or aluminum foil
• Mixing bowl
• Sharp knife
• Tongs

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Since the skins add texture and flavor, leave them on unless you prefer peeled potatoes.

Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 3 to 4 wedges depending on the size of the potato. Try to keep the wedges similar in size so they cook evenly.

Place the wedges into a large bowl.

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges.

Sprinkle with:

• Garlic powder
• Paprika
• Salt
• Black pepper

Toss everything together until all wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

The oil helps the potatoes develop a crispy exterior while the spices add extra flavor.

Step 3: Wrap with Bacon

Take one half-slice of bacon and wrap it around each potato wedge, starting at one end and slightly overlapping as you go.

If necessary, secure the bacon with a toothpick to prevent it from unraveling during baking.

Arrange the wrapped wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Leave a little space between each wedge to allow the bacon to crisp properly.
