Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Scrub the baby potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Partially cook the baby potatoes by boiling them in a pot of salted water for 10 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, slice the bacon strips in half lengthwise to create 20 smaller strips.
Wrap each cooled baby potato with a strip of bacon and secure it in place with a toothpick.
Arrange the wrapped potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a glaze.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, lightly coat each wrapped potato with the garlic herb glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Optionally, you can garnish with extra chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve warm and enjoy these crispy, flavorful Potatoes in Blankets as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack.
