From Aaron McCargo, Jr. Use for either a side-dish or an appetizer. Ingredients:
2 large idaho potatoes |
canola oil, for frying (about 2 cups) |
8 slices applewood smoked bacon, cut in 1/2 vertically |
16 toothpicks |
1/4 cup softened butter |
1/4 cup honey |
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
2 tablespoons chopped scallions |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves |
Directions:
1. Cut each potato into 8 wedges and parboil until fork tender.
2. In a preheated large saute pan, heat oil on medium-high heat. Wrap each potato wedge with 1 strip of bacon and secure with 1 toothpick on each end. Pan-fry in oil until bacon and potato are golden brown, approximately 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently with tongs to brown all sides evenly. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix butter, honey, black pepper, scallions and parsley. Stir with a spoon until fully mixed.
4. Toss potatoes in the glaze. Remove toothpicks and serve.
