Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will ensure your potatoes get perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and dry the baby potatoes, then cut each one in half for even cooking. This step is crucial to achieving the perfect texture and ensuring all the potatoes cook at the same rate.

Step 3: Season the Potatoes

In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they’re evenly coated. The seasoning blend will infuse the potatoes with a delightful depth of flavor.

Step 4: Roast the Potatoes

Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chopped bacon pieces evenly over the top. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Add the Honey

During the last 5 minutes of roasting, drizzle the honey over the potatoes and bacon. The honey will caramelize and create a divine sticky-sweet glaze that complements the savory flavors perfectly.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove the Crispy Bacon Honey Roasted Potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve them hot, ready to delight your taste buds.
