Hot To Make Parmesan Garlic Roasted Potatoes
Recipe tips: You can turn this recipe into a one pan meal by baking the bacon in the oven. Then ditch the bowls and mix everything directly on the baking sheet. You can also make this side dish a little more healthy and completely remove the bacon.
Start by Preheating the to oven to 400 degrees. Then, grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Cook bacon in a large skillet about 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy. Then, chop the bacon into 1/4 inch pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, oregano, basil, black pepper, chopped bacon and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined. Add potatoes to seasoning mixture. Mix with a large spoon or spatula until potatoes are evenly coated.
Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out evenly in a single layer. Put baking sheet into preheated oven on the middle rack. Cook for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes become soft and skin is crispy.
Remove potatoes from oven and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top. Allow to cool for 2-3 to allow cheese to stick to the potatoes.
