    For a recent gathering of friends, I brought a little appetizer made with a freshly cooked batch of bacon jam. About a week earlier I had declared to my friend Chris that I would be making an amazing appetizer with bacon. (We had an unspoken but mutually understood competition of who would bring the better appetizer.)

    That same afternoon I saw a bacon jam recipe on the King Arthur Flour site. I love savory jams on sandwiches, on toast, or with crackers and cheese. Stonewall Kitchen sells a delicious, jarred Maple Bacon & Onion Jam. Their Roasted Garlic Onion Jam has been a favorite of mine for years.

    With the bacon jam recipe in my arsenal, I then worked up a little appetizer consisting of oven-roasted potato slices topped with the jam and grated Parmesan.

    Why you'll love this appetizer

    Yum! They are a nice combination of salty (roasted potatoes), sweet (the bacon jam is very sweet), and sharp (Parmesan cheese bite.)

    And they're so easy to put together. Make the bacon jam in advance or pick up one of the jarred jams above to make it even easier.

    🔪 How to make Bacon Jam Roasted Potato Canapés

    Step 1: Make the potatoes

    Crisp slices of potato

    Thinly slice potatoes and roast them in the oven until they're crisp.

    Step 2: Make the canapés

    Thin sliced roasted potatoes

    Sprinkle the crisp potato slices with salt, and then top each one with a dollop of bacon jam. Shave some Parmesan cheese over each canapé. They're ready to serve!

    Notes:

    • The Bacon Jam recipe I used can be found here at KingArthurFlour.com, or a jarred bacon jam like the one from Stonewall Kitchen can be used.

    As for our unspoken competition, Chris' wife Hillary brought a luscious, hot buffalo chicken dip to the gathering which was sinfully rich and yummy. I had quite a bit of it... so I'll concede to her that win!

    Prep Time 20 minutes mins
    Cook Time 40 minutes mins
    Total Time 1 hour hr
    Course Appetizer, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Thanksgiving
    Servings 30 canapés

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 cups Bacon Jam
    • 2 russet potatoes
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 ounces Parmesan cheese

    Instructions
     

    Prepare the potatoes:

    • Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Scrub and wash the russets well, then dry. Slice the potatoes into ⅛-inch thick slices. Add the potato slices to the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large bowl. Toss the potato slices gently to combine them with the oil.
    • Lay the slices out on the parchment paper so that they are touching but not overlapping. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the salt and the teaspoon of black pepper over the potatoes.
    • Roast the potatoes until the slices are browned and crispy, about 40 minutes and use tongs midway through the baking to turn the slices over. Once crispy, remove the slices to a paper towel lined cooling rack and gently blot off the excess oil.

    Assemble the canapés:

    • Once cool enough to handle, arrange the roasted potatoes slices flat on a serving tray.
    • Sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of salt over the potatoes. Top each potato slice with about 2 teaspoons of the bacon jam.
    • Use a grater to shave Parmesan over the tops of the canapés.
    • Makes about 30 canapés, depending on thickness of slices.

    Notes

    • The Bacon Jam recipe I used can be found here at KingArthurFlour.com, or a jarred bacon jam like the one from Stonewall Kitchen can be used.
