Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks

Meat

  • 6 ounces beef bacon, sliced into small pieces

Sweetener & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 1–2 teaspoons fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut your Yukon Gold or red potatoes into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on if you prefer extra texture and nutrients.
  2. Parboil the Potatoes: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes until they are just beginning to get tender, ensuring a fluffy interior when roasted.
  3. Crisp the Beef Bacon: While the potatoes parboil, slice the beef bacon into small pieces and cook in a hot skillet until crisp. Drain excess fat by placing the bacon on paper towels.
  4. Toss Potatoes with Olive Oil and Honey: Drain the parboiled potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and honey, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat each potato piece evenly.
  5. Combine and Roast: Mix the crispy beef bacon with the coated potatoes. Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  6. Add Herbs and Serve: Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh rosemary or thyme. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Parboil potatoes to ensure a tender inside and crispy exterior.
  • Use a hot oven (425°F/220°C) for optimal crispiness.
  • Do not omit honey, as it adds a subtle caramelized sweetness and color.
  • Cut evenly sized potato pieces for consistent cooking.
  • Add fresh herbs after roasting to preserve their flavor and prevent burning.
