Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Prosciutto Potato Bundles

There are some side dishes that look like they came straight from a fancy restaurant, and these Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Prosciutto Potato Bundles are absolutely one of them. They are crispy, golden, and packed with savory flavor, with thin slices of prosciutto wrapped around tender potato wedges and baked to perfection.

What I love most about this recipe is how effortlessly it delivers on elegance. With just four simple ingredients and about ten minutes of prep, you can create a side dish that feels both rustic and refined. The prosciutto crisps up beautifully in the oven, forming a salty, savory shell around the soft, fluffy potatoes. The olive oil and rosemary add a fragrant, herbaceous note that ties everything together.

They are perfect for holiday dinners, dinner parties, or any time you want to elevate a simple meal. Serve them alongside roasted chicken, grilled steak, or a hearty pot roast, and watch everyone at the table reach for seconds.

Ingredients

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved lengthwise
8 slices prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Salt and black pepper are considered free pantry staples and can be added to taste.

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Wrap each potato half with a strip of prosciutto, pressing gently so it adheres.
Place the wrapped potatoes seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the prosciutto is crispy and golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Variations

Parmesan Dust: Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the bundles during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Garlic Herb: Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the olive oil mixture.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil.
Bacon Version: Use thin-cut bacon instead of prosciutto for a smokier flavor.
Sweet Potato Bundles: Substitute sweet potatoes for baby potatoes and add a pinch of cinnamon.
Herb Swap: Try thyme, sage, or oregano instead of rosemary.

Expert Tips

Slice potatoes evenly: Uniform halves cook at the same rate and ensure even baking.
Pat potatoes dry: Removing excess moisture helps the prosciutto crisp up.
Don’t overcrowd: Leave space between the bundles so they roast rather than steam.
Watch the prosciutto: It can go from crispy to burnt quickly. Start checking at 20 minutes.
Serve immediately: These are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the oven while the prosciutto is still crisp.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven for 8 to 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid the microwave, as it will make the prosciutto soggy. These bundles do not freeze well, as the potatoes can become grainy upon thawing.
