Bacon Wrapped Potatoes for Super Bowl!

Super Bowl is right around the corner and whether you are a host or a guest, figuring out what to make or bring can draw a blank. I found this recipe for bacon wrapped rosemary potatoes years ago and I've been making them ever since. The ingredients are simple, the labor may take a while but boy are they delicious. I always get tons of compliments so definitely give these a try and let me know how much your friends love them!

1 pound red potatoes (washed, don't peel)
1 pound of bacon
1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
Rosemary, Salt & Pepper
Toothpicks

Preheat Oven 400 Degrees:

- Wash the red potatoes and cut them into about 1 inch cubes.
- Add 2 teaspoons of salt to cold water and boil potatoes for about 3 to 4 minutes max. You don't want them to be too soft because then they will fall apart when you try to wrap the bacon.
- Drain the potatoes and put in a bowl, add olive oil, light covering of rosemary and a pinch of salt and pepper and mix everything together. I like to use my hands (its easier).
-Cut the bacon strips into thirds and start wrapping each potato cube.
-Secure the potato cube and the bacon with a toothpick.  Repeat until finished.
-Place the potato cube on a baking sheet lined with aluminium foil or a baking sheet which ever you prefer and bake for about 15 minutes.
-After 15 minutes you will then flip the potato cube onto the other side and bake for another 15 minutes.

*After you let them cool you can serve with sour cream or ranch dressing.

Hope you all enjoy this fun recipe and HAPPY SUPER BOWL DAY! :)

This looks sooo yummy! Unfortunately...no oven in the dorm! We are confined to Doritos and anything we can heat up in the microwave.

Great blog :)
