Drizzle the potatoes with plenty of butter and olive oil, and sprinkled with salt. Give them an extra-long roast in the oven so that the insides have time to become creamy and the outsides turn golden and crisp.
this recipe calls for a bacon too, a crispy, salty bacon. So, are you ready to slice some potatoes and top with some sweet, sweet bacon bits .

Crispy Potatoes roast
- oven
Equipment
- oven
Ingredients
- 4 Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley plus more for garnish
- 3 ounces bacon
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Slice the potatoes: Set a potato on a cutting board and place a chopstick on either side of the potato. With a sharp, thin knife, make deep vertical cuts 1/8-inch apart, but without cutting all the way through the potato. The chopsticks should keep you from accidentally cutting too deeply or going all the way through.
- Place the potatoes with the cut side up in the baking dish, spaced a little apart so each one has some room. Fan the potatoes open slightly.
- Season the potatoes: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, oil, and parsley. Drizzle this over the potatoes and then use a pastry brush to spread the butter and oil mixture evenly and in between the slices of each potato. Sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. The potatoes will fan out more during cooking and take on their accordion-like appearance.
- While potatoes are baking, fry bacon over a medium high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Set aside. Remove potatoes from oven. Add bacon bits by scattering around throughout the potatoes.
