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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 5
Cut the bacon slices into 1-inch pieces and scatter them evenly over the potatoes on the baking sheet.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Check for doneness by piercing a potato cube with a fork. It should be tender and golden brown, and the bacon should be crispy.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a simple yet satisfying meal.
