Bacon-Wrapped Potatoes Recipe
I RECEIVED this recipe 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
