### 👩‍🍳 How to Make It

#### Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until just fork-tender (about 10–12 minutes). Drain and let them cool slightly.

#### Step 2: Wrap and Season

Wrap each potato with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.

#### Step 3: Bake

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden.

#### Step 4: Add Cheese

In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and return to the oven just until melted.

#### Step 5: Make the Dip

Mix all dip ingredients together in a small bowl. Chill until ready to serve.

#### Step 6: Serve and Impress

Arrange the potato bites on a platter, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve with the dip on the side.
