Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved Choose similarly sized potatoes for even cooking.
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped Thick-cut gives better texture; turkey bacon can be used for a leaner option.
  • 2 tbsp honey Adjust to taste; maple syrup can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Or use 1 tbsp rendered bacon fat for extra richness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This higher temperature helps the potato edges crisp.
  2. Wash and halve the potatoes so the cut sides are roughly the same size.
  3. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
  1. Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer — don’t overcrowd.
  2. Roast for 20–25 minutes, cut-side down if possible, until potatoes are starting to turn golden and are almost tender when pierced.
  3. Scatter the chopped bacon over and among the potatoes. Return the pan to the oven and roast another 10–15 minutes, stirring once, until bacon is crisp and potatoes are deeply golden.
  4. Remove the pan, drizzle the honey evenly over the potatoes and bacon, and toss gently to coat. Return to the oven for 3–5 minutes to let the honey caramelize. Watch closely so the honey doesn’t burn.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning; finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

If preferred, cook the bacon separately in a skillet until crisp, reserve 1 tbsp of the fat to toss with the potatoes, then mix cooked bacon back in before glazing with honey.
