Crispy Potato and Bacon Sheet Pan
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Russet potatoes, scrubbed and thinly sliced | 4 medium (about 1/8-inch thick) |
| Bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces | 6 slices |
| Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Fresh chives or parsley, chopped | 2 tablespoons |
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Step 2: Season the Potatoes
Place the sliced potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Toss well until every slice is evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange on the Pan
Spread the seasoned potatoes across the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer. Scatter the chopped bacon evenly over the potatoes.
Step 4: Bake
Roast for 30–35 minutes, stirring the potatoes and bacon halfway through the cooking time. Continue baking until the potatoes are crisp and golden and the bacon is browned and fully cooked.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh chives or parsley, then serve warm.
