Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Seasonings

  • 2 lbs (900g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Bacon and Garnish

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and thoroughly dry the baby potatoes. Cut each potato in half to ensure even cooking and a perfect roast.
  3. Chop Bacon: Chop the bacon slices into small pieces. This will help the bacon crisp up evenly and distribute throughout the potatoes.
  4. Toss Potatoes with Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for optimal roasting and crispiness.
  6. Add Bacon: Scatter the chopped bacon pieces evenly over the potatoes, allowing the bacon to crisp and infuse the potatoes with flavor while roasting.
  7. Roast Potatoes and Bacon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes. Flip the potatoes and bacon halfway through the roasting time to promote even cooking and browning.
  8. Glaze with Honey: During the last 5 minutes of roasting, drizzle the honey evenly over the potatoes and bacon. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the honey caramelizes and the potatoes become golden brown.
  9. Cool and Garnish: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a fresh and vibrant finish.
  10. Serve: Serve the honey bacon roasted potatoes immediately as a delicious side dish to complement any meal and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for even roasting; Yukon Gold or red baby potatoes work well.
  • Adjust honey quantity according to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • For extra crispiness, ensure potatoes are dry before tossing with oil and seasonings.
  • Can be made gluten-free by verifying all ingredients, especially bacon and seasonings.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
