How To Make: Baby Potato Bake. Image credit: Hangry.Recipes
This side dish of bacon-wrapped baby potatoes in a creamy garlic sauce with mushrooms and a hint of rosemary will take centre stage at the table. The baby potato bake can also be made ahead of time — perfect to take along to a party!
The secret to this impressive culinary creation is to parboil the potatoes first, giving the insides a head-start on cooking. Baby potatoes (also called new potatoes) are simply young potatoes, and since they are harvested right at the beginning of the season, they are buttery, sweet, and full of moisture, which contributes to their fluffy creaminess.
As an added bonus, one does not need to peel baby potatoes because of their thin skin which softens once cooked. So you will be getting all the wholesome goodness of nutrients, such as iron and Vitamin C, contained in the skin.
The bacon is divine paired with the juicy button mushrooms, rosemary, cream, sour cream and melt-in-your-mouth baby potatoes to make this exception baby potato bake. Deliciously crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside…
Feel free to explore and try different variations of bacon, such as hickory-smoked bacon, to give this potato side a smoky flavour.
