Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup (80 grams) chopped turkey bacon
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (85 grams) honey
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Initiate oven preparation by heating to 425°F, creating an ideal roasting environment with a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cube potatoes into uniform chunks, ensuring consistent cooking and texture throughout the dish.
- Chop turkey bacon into small, crispy pieces that will distribute evenly across the potato mixture.
- Create a flavorful coating by whisking honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Gently tumble potato cubes and turkey bacon into the seasoned mixture, carefully coating each piece to maximize flavor absorption.
- Arrange the coated potatoes and bacon in a single, spacious layer on the prepared baking sheet, preventing overcrowding to guarantee crisp edges.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing potatoes to roast for 20-25 minutes, developing a golden-brown exterior.
- Midway through cooking, rotate and stir the potatoes to promote uniform caramelization and prevent sticking.
- Verify doneness by testing potato tenderness with a fork; they should be easily pierced and display a rich, amber-brown coloration.
- Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish, allowing the turkey bacon to provide a delightful smoky crunch alongside the sweet honey glaze.
Notes
- Cut potatoes uniformly to guarantee consistent cooking and crispy edges, preventing some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Use thick-cut turkey bacon for maximum flavor and crispiness, which helps distribute rich smoky notes throughout the roasted potatoes.
- Adjust honey quantity based on preferred sweetness level, considering that different honey varieties have varying intensities of sweetness.
- For gluten-free and low-carb alternatives, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or turnip cubes, maintaining similar roasting technique and flavor profile.
