Steps:

- Place the bacon wrapped potatoes in a roasting dish uncovered.
- Cook uncovered in the oven for 75-90 minutes or until desired crispness of the bacon. Turning over one time (you can remove the toothpicks before turning them) about half way through.
- Serve.
BACON-WRAPPED POTATOES
I received this recipe for bacon-wrapped potatoes years ago from a friend. It's a delicious new twist to a baked potato. I recently served these potatoes to visiting relatives from Norway, and they were a big hit. I love to cook and even wrote my own cookbook several years ago. -LaVerna Mjones, Moorhead, Minnesota

PERFECT FINGERLING POTATOES
This recipe is from Alton Brown's Eat This Rock! You cook the potatoes in heavily salted water and the salt crystallizes on the outside of the potatoes. It seems like a lot of salt but it works. The reviews rave over it! I have slightly adapted it. They are even good cold!

- Use a toothpick to secure the bacon around the potatoes: This will help to keep them in place while they are cooking.

- Serve the potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce are all great options.
