Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes (halved)

4 strips of thick-cut bacon (chopped into 1-inch pieces)

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it becomes crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

      Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the honey, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well-mixed.

        Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the honey mixture until they are evenly coated.

          Add Bacon: Gently fold in the crispy bacon bits into the potato mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

            Roast the Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and tender. Toss halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a delicious side dish!
