Bacon-wrapped potatoes
I hesitate to specify how many this serves, because these bacon-wrapped beauties are very moreish. They're also good eaten cold (before someone else beats you to it).
Serves: 3 to 4
Ingredients:
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 8 medium-sized new potatoes (about the size of golf balls)
- 4 rashers streaky bacon, cut in half lengthways
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method:
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Put the onion in an oven dish that will fit all the potatoes in a snug single layer.
- Prick the potatoes all over with a sharp knife.
- Wrap each potato securely in a strip of streaky bacon and sit them on top of the onion.
- Drizzle over the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the bacon is crisp.
