Ingredients

• 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Fresh rosemary (optional)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.

Step 3

Peel and slice the onion into thin half-moons. Peel the garlic cloves and cut each clove in half lengthwise.

Step 4

Chop the bacon into small pieces, about 1/2-inch wide.

Step 5

Place a large baking sheet in the oven to preheat for a few minutes. This will help the potatoes crisp up during roasting.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, onion slices, garlic halves, olive oil, rosemary (if using), salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 7

Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and scatter the potatoes, onions, and garlic evenly across the sheet. Make sure they are in a single layer for even roasting.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped bacon pieces over the top of the potatoes.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes and stirring the ingredients halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are golden and crispy and the bacon is fully cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh rosemary, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
