Notes
To ensure your Crispy Bacon Honey Roasted Potatoes turn out perfectly every time, follow these tips:
Cut the Potatoes Evenly: Cutting the baby potatoes in half ensures they cook through and develop a crispy exterior.
Toss with Oil and Spices: Coating the potatoes in a light layer of olive oil and spices helps create a flavorful, crunchy crust.
Spread in a Single Layer: Arranging the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet allows for even heat distribution and maximum crispiness.
Flip Halfway: Flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time ensures they brown and crisp up on all sides.
Drizzle with Honey: The addition of honey in the last few minutes of roasting caramelizes the potatoes and bacon, creating an irresistible sweet and savory glaze.
