Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Idaho Potato Skewers:
Idaho Potatoes
Bacon
Seasonings of your choice
Dipping sauces of your choice
NOTES: Each 6-8 ounce Idaho Russet will yield 6-8 perfect potato wedges. For a “lighter” treat, wrap each wedge in a half piece of bacon. For something more decadent and presentation worthy, wrap each wedge with a whole piece of bacon. If you’d like to forgo the grill, bake until desired crispiness in the oven (about 35-40 minutes).

The thought came to me … what do you suppose soaks up all the fat from the bacon?

Hi Big John,
Consider making potatoes on the grill without the bacon, skewer the spuds and serve with dipping sauces. Or, try a leaner, turkey-bacon product if you choose… Problem solved :)
