Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to crafting a meal that tells a story. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved
- 6 slices of bacon
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Optional: 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist
If you’re out of baby potatoes, feel free to substitute with Yukon golds or red potatoes, just cut them into smaller pieces for even cooking.
Instructions
Let’s turn these humble ingredients into a dish that sings with flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the bacon slices on the prepared sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings on the tray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine halved potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Spread the potatoes onto the same baking sheet with the bacon drippings. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through for even browning.
- While the potatoes are roasting, chop the cooled bacon into small pieces.
- Once the potatoes are nearly done, drizzle honey over them, add the bacon pieces back onto the tray, and stir everything together. Roast for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the honey to caramelize slightly.
- If using balsamic vinegar, drizzle it over the potatoes just before serving for an added depth of flavor.
From the first aroma to the final bite, these potatoes are a love letter to simple, heartfelt cooking.
