We were visiting family out of state and we were picked to bring appetizers and we wanted one of them to be some sort of potato. Not sure how it would work and how it would taste, decided to try it anyways. SUCCESS, everyone loved them & we've been making them ever since!

These poppers are out of this world. I loved the onion and chives cream cheese mixed with the potatoes. It gave extra flavor and made them real creamy. And really, what's not great wrapped in bacon? Bring these to a tailgate and you'll be a winner!

4Next, take a full slice of bacon, starting on top at one end, wrap around the jalapeno all the way to other end fully covering.

5Bake for 40 min on a sheet pan. Remove from oven and let rest on paper towels to soak up excess grease. For easier, less greasy cooking, place bacon wrapped tater jalapeños on a baking rack over top of a sheet pan.
