Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Russet potatoes (cut into wedges) | 4 medium |
| Thin-cut bacon (halved crosswise) | 12 oz |
| Kosher salt | 1½ tsp |
| Smoked paprika | 1 tsp |
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the scrubbed potatoes into evenly sized wedges. Place them in a bowl and toss with the salt and smoked paprika until coated.
Step 2: Wrap with Bacon
Wrap each potato wedge with a half slice of bacon around the center. Place the wedges seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
Step 3: First Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the bacon begins to crisp and the potatoes start to soften.
Step 4: Flip and Finish Baking
Turn each wedge over carefully and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the potatoes are tender.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the wedges rest for 5 minutes before serving.

- Ranch dressing

These bacon wrapped potato wedges are best served hot and crispy straight from the oven.
