Photo: Bacon-Wrapped Potatoes With Honey Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large Idaho potatoes (about 1/2 pound each)
- 12 slices bacon (3/4 pound)
- 2 cups canola oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallions, white and some green
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
Directions
Cut each potato lengthwise into 6 wedges. Wrap each wedge with a slice of bacon and secure each end with a toothpick. Place the oil and potato wedges in a large saute pan-the oil should come at least halfway up the sides of the potatoes. Over medium heat, cook the potato wedges until tender, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes. Increase the heat to high and cook until the bacon is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, scallions, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt to taste.
Carefully remove the toothpicks from the potato wedges and transfer the potatoes to a platter. Drizzle with the melted-butter mixture.

Let me tell you, these potatoes were so moist and the bacon wrapped around and the honey sauce really tied it all together! This is my new go to side! What I found that was so pleasing was how easy these were to put together. As long as I live I do not want my potatoes ever cooked any other way!

The whole family loved them. The kids and their friends were in the kitchen helping, so they could sneak a few as soon as they were ready

We've been making these potatoes since we first saw Aaron prepare them on Food Network Star as a talented contestant many seasons ago....and we've enjoyed all the Aaron feasting ever since! These are well worth the effort ! Make extra sauce and add a touch of hot sauce and minced garlic for an extra blast of flavor....great on chicken wings, shrimp,and lots of other things. Let the raves begin! Go, Big Daddy!
