BACON-WRAPPED POTATOES
I received this recipe for bacon-wrapped potatoes years ago from a friend. It's a delicious new twist to a baked potato. I recently served these potatoes to visiting relatives from Norway, and they were a big hit. I love to cook and even wrote my own cookbook several years ago. -LaVerna Mjones, Moorhead, Minnesota

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, small, firm potatoes like baby potatoes or fingerling potatoes work best. They will hold their shape well when wrapped in bacon.
- Parboil the potatoes: Parboiling the potatoes before wrapping them in bacon will help them cook through evenly. Be sure to drain them well before wrapping so that the bacon doesn't get soggy.
- Use a good quality bacon: The type of bacon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a thick-cut, hardwood-smoked bacon that is not too salty.
- Wrap the potatoes tightly: When wrapping the potatoes in bacon, be sure to wrap them tightly so that the bacon doesn't fall off during cooking.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: Baking the potatoes at a high temperature will help the bacon get crispy and the potatoes will cook through quickly.
- Make the honey scallion sauce while the potatoes are baking: This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a delicious sauce for the potatoes.
