Why It Works

  • The seasonings give the potatoes a spicy and smoky complexity.
  • The bacon and potatoes cook at the same speed in the oven, so there's no need to parcook anything.

Potatoes and bacon are a natural pair, the tender tuber providing the perfect foil to bacon's richness and smokiness. Here, small potatoes are tossed with a spicy and smoky seasoning mixture, wrapped in bacon, and roasted until the bacon is crisp and the potatoes are cooked through. The result is an appetizer that's better than the sum of its delicious parts.
