Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 6 slices Bacon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Cut the bacon slices into 1-inch pieces and scatter them evenly over the potatoes on the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness by piercing a potato cube with a fork. It should be tender and golden brown, and the bacon should be crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a simple yet satisfying meal.
