Roasted Red Potatoes Home Fries
Recipe adapted from Savoring the Thyme
serves 3 people
 
Ingredients:

• 4 large Red Bliss potatoes (with skin)
• 2 slices Canadian Bacon (or regular stripped bacon)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• salt and ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons parsley flakes

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 
2. Wash and cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks and place in a bowl. Toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper and scatter over a shallow baking pan lined with foil.  Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes.  Toss halfway through baking.
   After the potatoes have baked, add the garlic to them, toss and bake another 5 minutes.
3. Using a medium non-stick frying pan at medium heat, add olive oil and cook the bacon for 1-2 minutes on each side.  Lay on a paper towel (to absorb the fatty oils) and then slice into smaller pieces.
   Remove the potatoes and place them in a large bowl.  Add the Parmesan, parsley, and bacon.  Toss together.
