Barbara's Notes + Tips
The oven may smoke from the bacon grease when you open it.
If you don't have mini potatoes, cut new potatoes into bite size pieces,
You can use thick or thin bacon. If you use thick bacon you will need toothpicks, you will not if using thin bacon.
Don't use colored toothpicks, they will discolor the potatoes.
To get crispy non greasy appetizers, bake on a rack sitting inside a rimmed baking sheet.
