Roasted Baby Potatoes with Bacon and Herbs Recipe

Ingredients:

2 pounds of baby potatoes, halved

4 slices of bacon, diced

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of dried thyme

1 teaspoon of dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon of paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Ingredients:

Wash and halve the baby potatoes. If the potatoes are larger, quarter them to ensure even cooking.

Dice the bacon into small pieces.

Mix the Potatoes and Bacon:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes, diced bacon, olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Toss the ingredients together until the potatoes are well coated with the seasonings and the bacon is evenly distributed.

Roast the Potatoes:

Spread the potato and bacon mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet or in a large roasting pan.

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, and the bacon is crispy. Stir the mixture halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.

Finish with Fresh Herbs:

Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

Toss gently to combine.

Serve:

Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish.

Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite main courses.

Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes:

Even Cooking: Ensure all potato pieces are similar in size for even cooking.

Crispy Bacon: Add the bacon halfway through roasting if you prefer it extra crispy and less rendered.

Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley add a burst of flavor and color. You can also use fresh thyme or rosemary.
