Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly. If they vary greatly in size, slice any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until they are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure they are golden and crispy on all sides.
While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease, then crumble into small pieces.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving platter.
Dollop the crème fraîche over the potatoes, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon and fresh chives on top.
Serve immediately while the potatoes are still warm and enjoy!
