Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Bacon
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
Seasoning and Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting.
- Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat each potato piece with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet to allow for even roasting.
- Add Bacon: Sprinkle the chopped bacon pieces evenly over the potatoes, ensuring every bite will have some crispy bacon.
- Drizzle Honey: Drizzle the 1/4 cup of honey over the potatoes and bacon to add a sweet glaze that enhances flavor and caramelization.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes. Stir the potatoes and bacon halfway through cooking to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a touch of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes for even cooking and a tender interior.
- Adjust honey quantity to control sweetness.
- Stirring halfway through roasting ensures all potatoes cook evenly.
- For crispier bacon, bake it separately before adding to potatoes.
- Fresh parsley adds color and a light herbal note to the dish.
