These ARE the best! Made them last night, along with bbq chicken. I've made a similar recipe for years - cutting the potato in half, inserting a thick slice of onion, wrapping the potato with a slice of bacon and then covering with foil. But this recipe is MUCH better. Can do these in the oven as well, but (as always) it's better when done on the bbq. Thanks for sharing this!

These were sooooo good! It took 2 pieces of bacon to wrap around each for me. Cooking time was right on, bacon was nice and crisp but not burnt, potatoes were perfect. A wonderful recipe all in all. I will make them often now.

Love the touch of bacon wrapped around the potatoe. I did add some dry minced garlic in the wedge. Took40 minutes on the top rack in the BBQ. Thanks Dorothy for yet another winner
