Looking for a simple, delicious appetizer to serve at a birthday party or family get-together. These bacon-wrapped potato wedges are the healthy snack idea you’ve been searching for. One serving tray of this is bound to become a big hit at that party. Your taste buds will explode! Imagine the fusion when you get that potato crispy on the outside but soft and tender in the middle. Then combined with the crisp, salty flavor from the bacon. It’s safe to say, this could be a match made in heaven.
When stored properly, this bacon-wrapped potato wedges meal prep recipe will last for approximately 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. Bacteria grow quite rapidly at temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F, therefore, this delicious healthy snack idea should be discarded if left at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
To maximize the storage allowance for this meal prep recipe ensure that you store it using an airtight container. You can use plastic meal prep containers with compartments for separating the bacon-wrapped potato wedges from the steamed veggies or dipping sauce that you want to pair it with. You could use glass meal prep containers to store whatever was left from dinner.
Bacon-wrapped potato wedges can be frozen and stored. Please ensure that you use an airtight container or a heavy-duty freezer bag. They should maintain good quality for up to 6 months. To recook, you can pop them back into the oven for a few minutes and then serve. Do not make the mistake and thaw them out first. That will cause this healthy snack to become soft and mushy. You certainly don’t want to ruin that crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside sensation.
Searching through your healthy snack ideas list. Well, you have found a winner. It takes only 15 minutes to get this prepped and into the oven. You will have your guests or family members begging for more. Start with preheating the oven to 400℉.
Start by chopping each potato into 4 quarters. We used Yukon gold potatoes in this recipe but you can use whatever is available in your pantry. In a mixing bowl, toss the wedges, avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Ensure that the potatoes are well coated.
Afterward, you wrap each potato wedge with half a slice of bacon. Place the potato skin side down onto your baking sheet lined with foil paper. Once you’re done, pop them in the oven and bake for 30 - 40 minutes. You can flip them halfway through cooking to speed up the process. When the bacon is nice and crispy and the wedges are soft and tender, perfection is achieved.
This mouth-watering healthy snack idea yields 4 serving portions. But these will go be gobbled up quickly so we advise you to make a few batches to go around. It can be served as an appetizer before dinner or paired with steamed veggies to create a meal. You can also try pairing it with our Better-than-Ranch-Dressing, Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
