Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Step 2

Clean and peel, then cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes.

Step 3

In a large bowl or large sized resealable baggie, add in seasoning mixture (Salt, pepper, cinnamon), add butter and mix.

Step 4

Add potatoes and toss to coat.

Step 5

Place brown sugar in a shallow bowl, break apart so that it is easy to dip into. Since I used a flavored salt I also added it here as well (using less in the mix part above)

Step 6

Wrap one piece bacon around each sweet potato cube; secure with a toothpick.

Step 7

Dip each side in brown sugar. (Optional you can also do a quick dip into a mixture of warmed maple before hitting the sugar dip for extra impact – you might want to put these on a rack to drip before placing on parchment)

Step 8

Place on a parchment paper-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. FYI – Parchment or silicone baking sheet is crucial – these get sticky and can burn

Step 9

Bake 40-45 minutes or until bacon is crisp and sweet potato is tender.

Step 10

Note the seasonings on this can be adjusted to your taste or menu. Red pepper flakes, chopped rosemary, nutmeg, seasoned salts, etc.

Step 11

Serve with maple syrup.
