Instructions
This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F | 180°C. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

Eileen's Tips for Success
- Try to cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces.
- For easy clean-up, line the baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- For best results, place potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. You don't want to overcrowd them; otherwise, they can become soggy.
No, the bacon will cook as it bakes with the potatoes.
Reheat potatoes wrapped in bacon in the air fryer or oven at 350°F until warm through.
Make it your own
Do you want to change up this recipe for dietary reasons or for variety?
- Potatoes: For this recipe, russet potatoes really work best. I've also successfully used baby potatoes, sliced them in half, and then wrapped them in bacon.
- Garnishes: I use fresh chopped parsley as a garnish for this delicious appetizer. You can also use sour cream, sliced green onions, or even a little cheddar cheese.
- Spice: Is your family a fan of spicy foods? If so, add a dash of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for a touch of heat.
- Seasonings: Try Cajun Seasonings, Blackened Seasoning, or homemade Italian Seasoning on the potato wedges before adding the bacon.
Make-ahead, storage, and freezer tips
Storage: Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
