Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Red or Yukon Gold Potatoes, washed and quartered

Meat

  • 6 slices Beef Bacon

Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, peeled and halved
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Rosemary or Thyme, chopped
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and quartering your chosen potatoes to ensure even cooking. Leaving the skins on enhances texture and keeps the nutrients intact.
  2. Cook the Beef Bacon: In a skillet, cook the beef bacon until crispy but not burnt—saving the rendered fat for added flavor when roasting.
  3. Toss Potatoes with Flavors: In a large bowl, mix the potatoes with olive oil, honey, garlic, fresh herbs, sea salt, and black pepper. Add the crispy bacon pieces and toss to coat everything evenly.
  4. Roast to Perfection: Spread the potatoes and bacon on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through to get that even golden crust.
  5. Serve Warm: Once roasted, these Crispy Beef Bacon Honey Roasted Potatoes are best served immediately for maximum crispness and flavor.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even roasting and texture.
  • Reserve and use bacon fat along with olive oil to intensify smoky flavor.
  • Preheat the oven fully before roasting for optimal crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking pan; give potatoes space to roast rather than steam.
  • Flip potatoes halfway through roasting to achieve even browning.
