Ingredients
-
2 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red), halved
-
6 slices bacon, chopped
-
3 tablespoons olive oil or reserved bacon fat
-
3 tablespoons honey
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Optional garnish: fresh thyme or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, cut-side down.
- Scatter chopped bacon evenly over the potatoes.
- Roast for 25 minutes, then flip potatoes and stir bacon.
- Drizzle honey evenly over the potatoes and return to the oven.
- Roast for an additional 10–15 minutes, until potatoes are golden and crispy and bacon is caramelized.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bacon for best texture.
- For extra crispiness, soak potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes, then dry well before roasting.
- Swap honey for maple syrup if desired.
- Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt for contrast.
- Best served fresh, but leftovers reheat well in an air fryer.
