    What you’ll need to make these Air fryer appetizers

    • Baby potatoes
    • Bacon
    • black pepper optional
    • Tooth picks or cocktail sticks
    • Parchment paper (optional)

    Spicy sour cream dip ingredients

    • Sour cream
    • Mayo
    • Sriracha
    • Vinegar
    • Salt
    • Black pepper

    Best potatoes for this recipe.

    I used baby potatoes for this recipe, if you want to use bigger sized potatoes, you would need to cut them into bite sized cubes.

    Or simply cut them into wedges or rounds and make bacon wrapped wedge or bacon wrapped sweet potato rounds.

    In a nutshell, any potato would work, russet, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, Idaho etc.

    How to make Air fryer Bacon wrapped potatoes

    Wash and dry potatoes no need to peel. Cut bacon into two across.

    Gently wrap each baby potato with bacon and secure at the seam with a toothpick. Repeat process till all the potatoes are wrapped.

    Place in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F / 204°C for 15 mins.

    How to make it in the oven

    Don’t have an air fryer yet? You can make these in the oven and here’s how.

    • Preheat oven to 400°F / 205°C
    • Wrap potatoes with bacon and place on an un-greased baking sheet and bake for 40- 45 mins or until bacon is crispy and potatoes are fork tender and cooked through.
    • Serve

    Best dipping sauce and how to serve.

    Serve these on the cocktail sticks with which they were cooked then choose your favorite dip. Suggestions include:

    • Barbecue sauce
    • Spicy Mayo (a mix of sriracha sauce and mayonnaise)
    • Fry sauce (A mix of ketchup and mayonnaise)
    • Spicy sour cream sauce (a mix of mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha and vinegar)
    • Sour cream Chive dip

    How to make the spicy sour cream dip

    Mix all the ingredients needed for the sour cream dip thoroughly till well combined. Set aside in the refrigerator till ready to use. See recipe card for details.

    Tips for success

    • Pat dry potatoes after washing. This will prevent the bacon from slipping off when wrapping the potatoes.
    • I highly recommend using cocktail sticks. If you don’t want to use cocktail sticks you can place the wrapped potatoes seam side down. However not all might stay put.
    • Do not over crowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if you have to. In fact this recipe will cook in two batches.
    • If using the oven style air fryers, cook in the middle rack and add 3-5 mins more to cooking time.
    • Best bacon cut to use. I use regular cut bacon since I find it easier to wrap the potatoes with it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long do you bake bacon wrapped potatoes?

    The answer would depend on method of cooking and sizes of potatoes. If baking these in the air fryer it takes only 15 mins. If baking in the oven it can take up to 50 mins.

    How do you wrap something in bacon?

    Cut the bacon across or longitudinally depending on what you are wrapping. Then wrap the food with a slice of bacon in a single layer. When wrapping round foods like potatoes and Brussel sprouts, I cut across. For asparagus or green beans I cut longitudinally.

    • Air fryer
    • Glass bowl

    Ingredients
      

    • 32 baby potatoes
    • 1 lb Thin sliced bacon (about 16 slices)
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper (optional)

    Spicy sour cream dip

    • ¼ cup sour cream
    • 2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
    • 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (use less to reduce the heat)
    • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    • salt & black pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    Make the sauce

    • Mix all the sauce ingredients together till well combined then set aside on that counter if using immediately. Put in the refrigerator if you aren’t making the potatoes immediately

    Prepare the bacon

    • Cut bacon in half crosswise and set aside

    Prepare potatoes

    • Wash potatoes thoroughly and dry with paper towel no need to peel.

    Assemble it all

    • Wrap each baby potatoes with half a slice of bacon and secure seam with tooth picks or cocktail sticks.
    • Repeat process till all potatoes have been wrapped.
    • Sprinkle with black pepper if using

    Air fry

    • Place 16 bacon wrapped potatoes in the air fryer basket or the amount that fits.
    • Set temperature to 400°F / 204°C and bake for 13 - 15 mins flipping half way through. Let the potatoes rest for a minute in the air fryer then remove and cook second batch.
    • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

    Notes

    1. Recipe serves 8 and can easily be halved.
    2. Use cold bacon. It’s easier to cut cold bacon without stretching and distorting the shape.
    3. No need to preheat the air fryer. However start checking the second batch at 12 mins
    4. Do not overcrowd your basket. Cook in batches if needed. I use a 5.8qt air fryer 16 fits in mine at a time. Put whatever amount that will fit in yours without overcrowding the basket.
