Place some toothpicks in a bowl of cold water to soak.
Cut the baby potatoes in half and place in a large bowl.
Add the oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder to the potatoes and toss to combine.
Preheat the air fryer to 400f / 200c.
Cut the bacon strips in half.
One by one, wrap half a strip of bacon around each potato half and secure with a toothpick.
Once the air fryer is preheated, place the bacon wrapped potatoes in an even layer in the basket and cook at 15-20 minutes (mine were done at 18) til the bacon is crispy and the potatoes are tender. Cook in two batches if needed.

Baby potatoes are best to use for this recipe. Other waxy potatoes can be used, but avoid starchy potatoes.
Soak the toothpicks in a bowl of water for 5 to 10 minutes before using them. This will prevent them from burning during cooking.
Place the bacon wrapped potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer. Depending on how many you are making, and how big your air fryer is, you may have to cook them in two batches. The potatoes will hold their heat well, but you can keep the first batch warm in the oven while you cook the second batch if you wish.
