Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 6 slices bacon
Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a perfect roasting surface.
- Slice 2 lbs of baby potatoes in half, ensuring each piece is roughly the same size for consistent cooking.
- Combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper in a large bowl, creating a flavorful seasoning mix.
- Toss the potatoes in the seasoning, making sure each piece gets a thorough coating of spices.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes across the baking sheet in a single layer, allowing space between each piece for crispy edges.
- Chop 6 slices of bacon into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the potatoes.
- Roast the potatoes and bacon at 400F for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure golden, crispy surfaces.
- Remove the baking sheet and drizzle 3 tbsp honey over the potatoes and bacon, coating them with a sweet glaze.
- Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, letting the honey caramelize and create a sticky, delicious finish.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes for a bright, fresh garnish before serving.
Notes
- Work with similar-sized potato pieces to guarantee consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Pat potatoes completely dry before seasoning to help them get extra crisp and golden brown.
- Choose thick-cut bacon for maximum flavor and a robust texture that complements the potatoes perfectly.
- For a lighter version, swap bacon with turkey bacon or use less bacon and add more herbs like rosemary or thyme for depth.
