Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 Garlic cloves
• 6 strips Smoked bacon
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters if large, ensuring even sizes for roasting.

Step 3

Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

Step 4

Smash the garlic cloves lightly with the side of a knife, leaving the skins on. Scatter them around the potatoes on the baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast the potatoes and garlic in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender.

Step 6

While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain, then crumble into small pieces.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.

Step 8

Once the roasted potatoes are done, allow them to cool slightly. Remove the skins from the roasted garlic and mash the garlic into a paste.

Step 9

Add the roasted potatoes, mashed garlic, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
