Description

Ingredients

• 4 sweet potatoes, about 2 " round
• 1 Tbsp mrs. dash original blend
• 1/2 tsp thyme fresh leaves
• 1/2 c brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp black pepper
• coarse sea salt
• olive oil
• thin sliced bacon

Directions

• 1I used potatoes that were about 2" in diameter. Peel potatoes, cut very end off. Slice the same width as the bacon. Place in a mixing bowl and drizzle with enough olive oil to completely coat potatoes. In a small bowl add dry ingredients. Give a little taste and adjust seasonings to your taste. Mix together well. Pour into bowl with oiled potatoes and toss. Using your hands be sure potatoes are well seasoned. 2Use 1/2 slice of bacon for each potato. Wrap around the potato and secure with a toothpick. Once all are wrapped, roll the bacon in the leftover rub to coat. 3Place on a non stick surfaced pan, these will caramelize on the bottom and tend to stick. Bake at 350 for 35-45 min. until potatoes are tender and bacon is browned. Remove immediately. Sprinkle coarse sea salt on them as soon as you remove them from pan.
