- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into bite-size pieces (1-1 ½ inches).
- In a medium bowl combine the mayo, 3 tablespoons hot sauce, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Mix well. Add the sweet potato bites to the mayo mixture and toss to coat all pieces.
- Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise. Wrap each sweet potato bite with a half slice of bacon. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place if desired.
- Place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Use a spoon to drizzle the remaining maple syrup and hot sauce over each piece. If you have leftover sweet potato pieces, place them in between the bacon-wrapped sweet potatoes to bake.
- Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes to one hour, or until the bacon is crispy and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Check after baking for 35 minutes; if the bottoms are starting to brown, turn the pieces over for even cooking. If you prefer the bacon crispy, turn on the broiler for the last 2-4 minutes of cook time. Check every minute and watch closely to avoid burning.
- Remove from the heat and let cool. Add extra hot sauce if desired and serve.
