Bacon-wrapped roast potatoes

Perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion, this dish is sure to impress your guests and elevate any meal. The following recipe is both simple and delicious, making it a go-to for any home cook.

Ingredients:

6 bacon strips
150g
5 potatoes
1000g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 cup sour cream
230g
2 tbsp mustard
30g
2 tbsp chives
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Depending on their size, cut each potato into 3-4 large pieces. Aim for pieces that are relatively uniform in size, so they cook evenly.
3. Parboil Potatoes: Place the cut potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are just starting to become tender. You don't want them fully cooked at this stage, as they will continue to cook in the oven. Drain and let them cool slightly.
4. Wrap with Bacon: Cut each bacon strip in half if they are long. Wrap each piece of potato with a half strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
5. Prepare Baking Sheet: Spray a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
6. Bake: Arrange the bacon-wrapped potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the potatoes are cooked through.
7. Prepare Dipping Sauce: While the potatoes are baking, make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mustard, and chopped chives. Mix well.
8. Serve: Once the bacon-wrapped potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm with the sour cream and mustard dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like russet or Yukon gold for the best texture.

- Partially cook the bacon before wrapping it around the potatoes to ensure it becomes crispy.

- If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, parboil the potatoes for about 5 minutes before roasting.

- Use toothpicks to secure the bacon around the potatoes, and remove the toothpicks before serving.

- Experiment with different herbs and spices to personalize the flavor. Rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder can complement the dish well.

- Serve the bacon-wrapped potatoes with a dipping sauce like spicy mayo or garlic aioli for an extra burst of flavor.
