Bacon-Wrapped New Potatoes

Didn't grill them but they were amazing just the same coming from my oven.

We liked these better without the ranch dressing. Next time I make them I am going to make my own seasoning mix to sprinkle on them and some parmesan cheese. I would also precook the potatoes before grilling. The options are endless with these, they make a great side or an app.

We loved these. My potatoes were a little larger than bite sized, so after par-cooking them (I steamed them) and wrapping them in par-cooked bacon, we tossed them on the grill to crisp them up. This was a huge hit with everyone at my table. We skipped the ranch mix on the potatoes and served them instead with a blue-cheese-ranch dip and they were fantastic. I'm pretty sure this will be asked for again and again by my family. These would also make a great appetizer for any party or gathering and could easily be cooked in the oven if the grill is not an option.

I read all of the reviews and made some changes based on what I read. I pre-cooked the potatoes and bacon, just a little, in the microwave. Wrapped the bacon around each potato and threaded 3 potatoes onto a skewer. These were OK, just not as flavorful as I would have liked. Won't be making these again.

WE LOVED THESE! I par-boiled my potatoes, as Baking Nana suggested. I skewered 5 onto a skewer and cooked as directed. Made a wonderful side to our steaks, and I will def be making these again~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

I had high hopes for these (I mean, they've got bacon! And ranch!), but they were definately the low point of our meal this evening. I gave them a "3" and Mr. LTH a "4", so I'll round up to the 4. As is evident by my yucky photo, our bacon didn't ever get crisp (Mr. LTH has issues w/bacon and the grill...I'm not sure what the issue is as I happily leave the grilling to him). Assuming that's just a Mr. LTH error, I still wasn't thrilled w/the flavor of the potatoes. Mr. LTH loves anything potato, so he thought they were "good". While I'm glad we tried these, they won't become a part of our regular potato rotation. THANKS, hungryallweighs!

HAW - thank you for sharing this recipe. It is a great addition to any meat being cooked on the grill. I served these with the Recipe Group choice this week - Marinated Flank Steak with Peppers. These were so delicious - family loved them. And, they were easy to make. I put on metal skewers rather than the toothpicks. It worked great. Already thinking ahead to when I can make these again.
