Choosing fresh, quality ingredients really elevates this dish. For me, picking firm, waxy potatoes ensures they roast to golden perfection without falling apart. And when it comes to bacon, I always reach for thick-cut slices—they crisp up beautifully and add that hearty texture I crave. The honey I use is raw and unfiltered whenever possible; it adds a lovely depth without overpowering the flavors. Here’s what you’ll need to gather before you get started:

  • 1.5 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

If you want to switch things up, smoked paprika works wonderfully in place of garlic powder, and turkey bacon can be a leaner alternative, though the flavor will be slightly different.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes out on the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space for the bacon.
  4. Scatter the chopped bacon pieces around the potatoes, ensuring they aren’t piled on top of each other. This helps everything crisp up evenly.
  5. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, then remove the tray and drizzle the honey over the potatoes and bacon. Gently toss to coat everything without breaking the potatoes.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and tender and the bacon is perfectly crispy.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

One trick I’ve learned is to use a sturdy spatula when tossing after adding the honey—it helps keep the potatoes intact while spreading that beautiful glaze.
