3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, honey, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread potatoes evenly on the baking sheet.
4. Scatter chopped bacon evenly over the potatoes.
5. Roast for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway, until potatoes are crispy and bacon is golden.
6. Remove from oven and let cool 2–3 minutes to crisp further.
7. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Use baby Yukon gold or red potatoes for best texture.
For extra crispiness, spread potatoes in a single layer with space between.
Swap honey for maple syrup if preferred.
Leftovers reheat best in the oven or air fryer.
