How to Make Sweet and Savory Honey Bacon Roasted Potatoes
Sweet, salty, and utterly delicious, these Honey Bacon Roasted Potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Tossed with a honey glaze and crispy bacon, this side dish is perfect for holidays, potlucks, or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes halved
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast the Potatoes:
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Cook the Bacon:
- While the potatoes are roasting, cook the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve about 1 tbsp of bacon grease.
- Make the Honey Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and the reserved bacon grease.
- Combine and Finish Roasting:
- After 20 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven. Drizzle the honey glaze over the potatoes and sprinkle the cooked bacon on top. Toss gently to coat.
- Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Potato Options: Use Yukon gold, red potatoes, or fingerling potatoes for best results.
- Add Heat: Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispy results.
