Bacon-Wrapped Potato Bites
Ingredients
1 lb baby potatoes (or cut small potatoes into 1–1.5 inch chunks)
1 lb bacon (thin or regular cut), sliced in half
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika (optional but amazing)
Salt & pepper to taste

Optional dip: sour cream + chives, ranch, chipotle mayo, or BBQ sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
Prepare the potatoes:
Toss potatoes in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Wrap:
Take each potato and wrap it with half a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
Arrange on a baking sheet (line with parchment or foil for easy cleanup).
Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway:
Potatoes should be tender
Bacon should be crispy
Cool for 5 minutes, then serve with your favorite dip.
