There is a thin line between bar and tailgating food and this week we were more on the side of bar food, but we cooked it on the grill so in essence it is tailgating food. You see what I did there? Anyway, if you didn't notice, around Pigskin Gourmet we love bacon wrapped around pretty much anything. While this might not be a main dish for your tailgate, it is a quick flavorful appetizer that will go with a lot of other dishes.
Also, if you don't want to fire up the grill but still want your potatoes wrapped in bacon goodness, check out the recipe that inspired us to make these. Appetizer Recipe: Bacon-Wrapped Potato Bites with Spicy Sour Cream Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 pound small or medium red potatoes

- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Chop them into 1-inch pieces.
- Cover the potatoes with cold water in a pot and bring to a boil.

- Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Prepare the grill for cooking over direct medium heat.
- Wrap the potatoes in bacon and secure with a toothpick.
