Bacon-Wrapped Potatoes

I gotta say, I love Martha Stewart. If you watched her on the Roast of Justin Bieber, you know she is one bad bitch. But I’d like to attribute her bad bitchness more to this recipe – bacon-wrapped potatoes. Any bacon lover is a pal of mine, but any person who likes wrapping bacon around one of the best foods ever is just my straight-up soulmate.

Now I realize it doesn’t take a whole lot of skill to make bacon-wrapped potatoes. But what does take skill is choosing the right bacon for the job. I gave up on store-bought bacon a long time ago and solely purchase mine straight from a farm in Ohio. Some may think this is a bit drastic but the way my heart beats really fast when I see that box on my doorstep is probably the closest I’ve ever come to feeling true love. Follow your heart, right?
