Not Your Everyday Potatoes

I already had bacon fat on hand and leftover bacon from breakfast when I started these. If you don’t, start by frying 1/2 a pound of bacon until crisp. When it’s done, remove it from the pan and drain on paper towels. Reserve at least three tablespoons of the bacon fat. Better yet, reserve all the fat in a glass jar and refrigerate the rest until you make these again, or use it for something else! When the bacon is cool crumble it into bacon bits.

Assuming you are good to go in the bacon department, preheat the oven to 425 F. Combine potatoes, garlic, onion, and bacon fat on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss to combine and spread out evenly on the baking sheet. Roast for a total of 40-45 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

The potatoes are done when they are golden brown and easily pierced by a fork. Remove potatoes from the oven and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in crumbled bacon and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
