These bacon–wrapped potatoes literally taste like heaven. There is no other way to describe them. After the first time I tried them I was making them at least once a week for a while! They are truly that good and potatoes are one of the most inexpensive foods out there, so it’s great for my wallet too.

This recipe is simple and it is the perfect side dish to go along with a slow-cooker roast, chicken, or you could just enjoy them by themselves.
I am thinking of serving these babies at Thanksgiving this year. I think it would complement the turkey dinner quite nicely!
