Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 slices bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika smoked preferred
  • 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, let cool, then crumble.
  5. Remove potatoes from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Top generously with crumbled bacon and fresh parsley.
  6. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy as a side dish or a satisfying snack!

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak the cubed potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking—this removes excess starch. You can also substitute sweet potatoes for a twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
