Bacon-Wrapped Potatoes with Creamy Dill Sauce combine two ingredients that are hard to resist: tender potatoes and crispy, savory bacon. Served with a cool, creamy dill sauce, these potatoes make a flavorful appetizer, party snack, or side dish for a casual dinner.
Wrapping potatoes in bacon adds plenty of savory flavor as the bacon cooks and becomes crisp around the outside. The creamy dill sauce provides a fresh contrast to the richness of the bacon, making it more than just another bacon-and-potato recipe. It’s a combination that’s especially well suited to entertaining because the potatoes are easy to serve individually and the sauce can be offered alongside for dipping.
For home cooks, the biggest keys to successful bacon-wrapped potatoes are getting the potato tender while allowing the bacon to become properly crisp. Potato size matters, and keeping the pieces relatively uniform helps everything cook evenly. The sauce can also be prepared ahead, giving you one less thing to worry about when serving these as an appetizer.
These bacon-wrapped potatoes would fit naturally into a game-day spread, holiday appetizer table, barbecue, or casual dinner. They also make a useful addition to your potato recipe collection because they’re quite different from traditional roasted or mashed potatoes.
