Oven Roasted Potatoes

Oven Roasted Potatoes 

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb bacon 
3 1/2 lbs potatoes 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 
Coarse salt 
Fresh ground pepper
Fresh parsley 

Peel and halve or quarter potatoes depending on size and place in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, approximately 15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool. 

Slice bacon into 1" pieces and cook over medium heat in a skillet until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the bacon drippings. 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees, mince the garlic, grate Parmesan cheese and chop parsley. 

Prepare a 12 X 18 baking sheet by brushing with olive oil and half of the bacon drippings. Place potatoes on baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 30 minutes, rotating pan half way through. 

Reduce temperature to 375 degrees, turn potatoes over, sprinkle with salt and pepper & top with bacon, garlic and cheese. Bake an additional 15 - 20 minutes or until potatoes are evenly browned and cheese is melted. 

Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
