Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, cubed
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Ingredient Notes & Swaps
- Potatoes: Russets are great for crispiness, but Yukon Golds give a creamy interior.
- Honey: Maple syrup works well if you’re out of honey.
- Bacon: Turkey bacon is a lighter alternative and still gives smoky flavor.
- Add Heat: A dash of cayenne or chili flakes adds a subtle kick.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Transfer to paper towels, reserving the bacon fat.
3. Season the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, honey, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the reserved bacon fat for even more flavor.
