Crispy roasted baby potatoes tossed in a sweet honey glaze and finished with savory bacon bits. This easy, crowd-pleasing side dish is perfect for any meal and comes together in under an hour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (halved or quartered, about 680g)
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon (about 5–6 oz or 150g)
  • 3 tbsp honey, divided (about 2 tbsp for glaze, 1 tbsp for finishing)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Wash and dry baby potatoes. Cut into halves or quarters for uniform size. Do not peel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add potatoes to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly.
  5. Spread potatoes in a single layer, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Do not crowd the pan.
  6. Chop bacon into bite-sized pieces and scatter evenly over the potatoes.
  7. Roast for 20 minutes. Flip potatoes and bacon with a spatula, then roast for another 15–20 minutes, until potatoes are golden and bacon is crisp.
  8. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp honey. Toss gently to coat.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra black pepper if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispiness, dry potatoes thoroughly before tossing with glaze and avoid crowding the pan. Use convection if available. To make vegetarian, omit bacon and add smoked paprika. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the glaze. Leftovers reheat best in the oven.
