Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to whip up these tasty potatoes:

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and halve (or quarter) the baby potatoes for even cooking. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

3. Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Once crispy, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

4. Season the Potatoes

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.

5. Combine Honey and Bacon

Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of honey over the seasoned potatoes, followed by the crispy bacon bits. Gently toss the potatoes to ensure everything is well mixed and coated.

6. Roast the Potatoes

Spread the potatoes and bacon mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the edges. Make sure to toss the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

7. Garnish and Serve

Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve hot and enjoy!
