Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

6 strips of thick-cut bacon, diced

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Once done, remove from the skillet and drain the excess fat, reserving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.

      Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, reserved bacon fat, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are nicely coated.

        Add Honey and Bacon: Stir in the honey and half of the cooked bacon into the potato mixture, ensuring everything is well distributed.

          Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potato mixture evenly on a lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.

            Finish with Bacon: Once roasted, remove from the oven and top with the remaining crispy bacon.

              Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Honey Bacon Roasted Potatoes!
