Wrapped in bacon

Bacon wrapped fingerling potatoes

Ever since M. and I had bacon-wrapped fingerling potatoes at Twist in Hyde Park, N.Y., I've been trying to replicate them.

Twist's potatoes were in a perfectly seared bacon cocoon.

I haven't been able to make the potatoes exactly like Twist does, but anything wrapped in bacon hits that deep spot in my stomach.

Ingredients:
fingerling potatoes
bacon

Boil as many potatoes as you want in a pot until soft. Take the potatoes out and they'll dry quickly by themselves. Wrap a potato in bacon. Cut the end with kitchen shears. Wrap the other potatoes. In a saute pan, fry potatoes on all sides to cook the bacon.

As my main dish, I had roast chicken in a parmesan garlic marinade.

Candy of Soup Belly gave me some Saucy Mama parmesan garlic marinade. Thanks Candy! I basted four chicken thighs in the marinade and then roasted them. The chicken was juicy and very flavorful.

I have regular potatoes sitting in my cupboard. And since I don't like potatoes much, I should try your idea and wrap them in bacon. Bacon makes everything better! :)
