🔥 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
   Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prep the potatoes:

   • In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.

3. Add bacon:

   • Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the baking sheet.

   • Scatter chopped bacon over the top.

4. Roast:

   • Roast for 35–45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crispy and bacon is cooked.

   • (Watch closely the last 10 minutes so the bacon doesn’t burn.)

5. Add honey glaze:

   • Drizzle the honey over the hot potatoes and bacon right after removing from the oven.

   • Toss gently to coat. (If using Dijon, mix it into the honey first before drizzling.)

6. Garnish & serve:

   • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
