- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and cut 2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes into 8 wedges each.

- Wrap each potato wedge with 1/2 slice of bacon (about 1 lb bacon total) and secure with a toothpick.
- Arrange bacon-wrapped potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crispy and potatoes are golden brown.
- Remove from oven, remove toothpicks, and gently toss potatoes in the honey scallion sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
