Ingredients

• 2 pounds fingerling potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 whole garlic cloves
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and dry the fingerling potatoes thoroughly. Slice them lengthwise into halves.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved fingerling potatoes, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Crush the garlic cloves slightly with the side of a knife (leave them unpeeled) and add them to the bowl with the potatoes. Toss gently to mix.

Step 5

Spread the potatoes and garlic evenly on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down to ensure a crispy finish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring gently halfway through to promote even roasting.

Step 7

While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 8

After 25 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.

Step 9

Take the potatoes out of the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, savory side dish!
