A delightful twist on classic roasted potatoes, featuring crispy bacon and a flavorful herb topping.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Wash and dry the potatoes, then cut them into quarters.
Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes for even roasting.
In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Ensure all potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Avoid overcrowding the potatoes to allow them to crisp up.
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Flipping the potatoes ensures they brown evenly on all sides.
While the potatoes roast, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it.
Drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease.
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with garlic, cheese, and bacon.
Adding the toppings while the potatoes are hot helps the cheese melt perfectly.
Return the potatoes to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Keep an eye on the potatoes to prevent overcooking.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Adding fresh herbs at the end enhances the flavor and presentation.
Serve the potatoes warm and enjoy!
