How To Make Bacon-Wrapped Potatoes

I received this recipe for bacon-wrapped potatoes years ago from a friend. It’s a delicious new twist to a baked potato. I recently served these potatoes to visiting relatives from Norway, and they were a big hit. I love to cook and even wrote my own cookbook several years ago. —LaVerna Mjones, Moorhead, Minnesota.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium baking potatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 4 bacon strips
  • Powered by Chicory

Directions:

  1. Layer onion slices on cut side of two potato halves; top with other potato half.
  2. Wrap each potato with two bacon strips. Secure with toothpicks.
  3. Place on a lightly greased baking pan.
  4. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until potato is tender and bacon is crispy. Discard toothpicks.

Baked Legs With Cream Of Mushroom

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup flour (you can use gluten-free flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 lb chicken legs (about 3-4 large chicken legs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 10 oz mushrooms (each sliced in half)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.   On a large plate, dredge chicken legs in this seasoned flour mixture
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.  Add chicken legs skin side down and brown for about 4 minutes until the skin turns a nice golden color.  Flip the chicken legs over to the other side and brown the other side for about 3 minutes.  Remove browned chicken legs and set them aside. Also, remove those parts of olive oil that got too dark from browning the chicken with the flour mixture.
  3. To the same, now empty skillet, add mushrooms (sliced in half) and minced garlic, add an extra tablespoon of olive oil (if needed) and saute them together on medium heat for 2 minutes.
