Bacon Wrapped Potato with Honey Scallion Sauce
Recipe courtesy Aaron McCargo, Jr.

2 large Idaho potatoes
Canola oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
8 slices applewood smoked bacon, cut in 1/2 vertically
16 toothpicks
1/4 cup softened butter
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

1. Cut each potato into 8 wedges and parboil until fork tender.

2. In a preheated large saute pan, heat oil on medium-high heat. Wrap
each potato wedge with 1 strip of bacon and secure with 1 toothpick on
each end. Pan-fry in oil until bacon and potato are golden brown,
approximately 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently with tongs to brown
all sides evenly. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix butter, honey, black pepper,
scallions and parsley. Stir with a spoon until fully mixed.

4. Toss potatoes in the glaze. Remove toothpicks and serve.
