Instructions
You can start this recipe a day or two ahead.
Steam the small potatoes till just tender enough to be pieced with a sharp knife.
Chill the potatoes till firm and cold.
Lay strips of bacon on the counter. If possible make the strips long enough to reach the whole way around each potato. Secure the bacon around the potato by piecing it with a skewer right on the join.
When you are ready to cook the lollipops. Take them out of the fridge a little while before needed ( 1 hr) so they can come to room temperature. Set the oven to 190 C / 375 F
Rub or sprinkle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Lay on a baking paper lined tray. Bake till the bacon is starting to colour. This can also be done on a BBQ.
Put sour cream in a small bowl and put several spoons of chilli sauce on top. Serve with the potatoes.
Notes
You could also use sweet potatoes. Cut into chunks and steam or roast till just done. Chill and wrap as above.
