Bacon Wrapped Potatoes with Honey Scallion Sauce

I found this in my Food Network Magazine.  One of my mottos is everything is better with bacon.  I see these in my near future with a grilled ribeye and a glass of wine or two!

2 large Idaho potatoes (about a half pound each)
12 slices of bacon
2 C. canola oil
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. chopped scallions (white and some green)
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper

Cut each potato lengthwise into 6 wedges.  Wrap each wedge with a slice of bacon and secure each end with a toothpick.  Place the oil and potatoes in a large saute pan, the oil should come at least halfway up the sides of the potatoes.  Over medium heat, cook the potato wedges until tender, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes.  Increase the heat to high and cook until the bacon is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.  Transfer to paper towel lined plate to drain.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, scallions, parsley, 1/4 tsp. pepper and salt to taste.

Carefully remove the toothpicks from the potato wedges and transfer the potatoes to a platter.  Drizzle with melted butter mixture.
