While browsing the aisle of TJs with FChang, I picked up a bag of blue, gold, red potatoes, brussel sprouts, and bacon. The idea was to make mini bite-sized potato skins and brussel sprouts with bacon. Everything just seems to taste better with bacon, right? We carved out the inside of the potato (ended up making potato pancakes with the insides) and coated with an olive oil, cayenne mixture, and popped them in the oven to crisp up. Added cheese, bacon, and green onion and baked in the oven for a few more minutes. The potato skins turned out pretty much how i expected...but the brussel sprouts and bacon morphed conceptually. we cooked the bacon and saved the bacon fat to cook the brussel sprouts. after realizing it might be difficult to eat brussel sprouts off of a plate during a casual party - we decided to use toothpicks for ease of eating. bacon and brussel sprouts is a tasty combination and perfect party food on a toothpick!
