Look away….I’m telling you….Some food is just so glorious that it would tempt even the strongest to stray from our healthy eating. This my friends, is one of them.
Bacon Wrapped Potato with Honey Scallion Sauce
The savory bacon….hearty potato….the sweet crunch of the caramelized honey….oh yeah!
I like to use thick cut bacon. It just holds up better.
If you slice and then boil the potatoes, they cook much faster.
Mixing up the topping.
The potatoes are delicate, so be careful when you wrap them. I had several breaks.
They were so delicate, I ultimately abandoned the wrapping and turned it into a skillet dish.
It all cooked up well.
So awesome!

INGREDIENTS
- 2 large Idaho potatoes
- Canola oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
- 8 slices applewood smoked bacon, cut in 1/2 vertically
- 16 toothpicks
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS
1. Cut each potato into 8 wedges and parboil until fork tender. 2. In a preheated large saute pan, heat oil on medium-high heat. Wrap each potato wedge with 1 strip of bacon and secure with 1 toothpick on each end. Pan-fry in oil until bacon and potato are golden brown, approximately 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently with tongs to brown all sides evenly. Remove and drain on paper towels. 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix butter, honey, black pepper, scallions and parsley. Stir with a spoon until fully mixed. 4. Toss potatoes in the glaze. Remove toothpicks and serve.

Looks like a recipe I can make at home. I have to stay away from onions when I cook for the church. Someone doesn’t like any kind of onion.
