How to Make Bacon Wrapped Potato With Honey Scallion Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and cut 2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes into 8 wedges each.
  3. Parboil potato wedges in salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain well and pat dry.
  4. While potatoes are boiling, prepare the honey scallion sauce: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh scallions, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Stir until well combined.
  5. Wrap each potato wedge with 1/2 slice of bacon (about 1 lb bacon total) and secure with a toothpick.
  6. Arrange bacon-wrapped potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crispy and potatoes are golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven, remove toothpicks, and gently toss potatoes in the honey scallion sauce.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
