If you love potatoes, you will adore this Crispy Roasted Potatoes With Honey And Bacon Recipe. This dish is golden, crunchy and slightly sweet.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds 700 g baby potatoes, washed and halved
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for roasting the potatoes.
Prepare the Potatoes
- Cut baby potatoes in half. Keep the pieces roughly the same size for even cooking.
Season the Potatoes
- In a large bowl, add olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Toss potatoes well.
Add Bacon
- Add chopped bacon to the bowl. Mix gently so bacon spreads evenly over the potatoes.
Arrange on Baking Sheet
- Place potatoes and bacon cut side down on a baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
Roast the Potatoes
- Put the tray in the oven. Roast for 25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Add Honey
- Remove the tray from oven. Drizzle honey over potatoes and toss gently to coat them evenly.
Finish Roasting
- Return tray to oven. Roast for another 5–10 minutes. Watch closely so honey does not burn.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot for best flavor and crispiness.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes for a creamier texture inside.
- Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes to make them extra crispy.
- Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for aromatic flavor.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a slightly different sweetness.
- Make it spicy by sprinkling chili flakes over potatoes before roasting.
