1 pound Small Gold Potatoes (about 20 potatoes)
10-12 Bacon Strips cut in half
2 teaspoon Salt (we use kosher salt)
Sour Cream for serving
Green Onions or Chives chopped – for serving

You will also need

Large baking sheet
Parchment paper
Wood toothpicks

Instructions

Add the potatoes to a medium pot. Cover the potatoes with water by an inch or two and set them over high heat. Bring the water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and continue boiling for 15- 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Drain the potatoes completely and allow them to cool. While the potatoes cool.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, wrap each with ½ a bacon strip. Wrap the potato so the bacon goes all the way around, and overlaps some. Secure the bacon in place with a toothpick. Place on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Bake the potatoes for approximately 35-45 minutes. Check the potatoes after 30 minutes or so and gauge the remaining cooking time from there.
Serve the bacon wrapped potatoes bites with sour cream and chopped green onions.
