Here’s a simple and delicious way to make Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Potato Bites—perfect as a snack or party appetizer:
🥔 Ingredients
- 500g baby potatoes (or regular potatoes cut into chunks)
- 10–12 strips of bacon (cut in half)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- Toothpicks
🔪 Instructions
1. Pre-cook the potatoes
Boil the potatoes in salted water for about 10–12 minutes until just tender (not mushy). Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. Season
Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Wrap with bacon
Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around each potato chunk. Secure it with a toothpick.
4. Bake
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Place bites on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until bacon is crispy
5. Optional crisp boost 🔥
Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.
🍯 Optional Dips
- Honey mustard
- Garlic mayo
- Spicy ketchup
💡 Tips
- Use thin-cut bacon for better crisping
- Don’t overcrowd the tray—this helps them get crispy
- Add a sprinkle of cheese or herbs after baking for extra flavor
If you want, I can give you an air fryer version or a cheesy stuffed version too 😄
