How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C so that it is very hot when baking.
2. Wash the potatoes, peel them if desired, and cut them into uniform cubes for even cooking.
3. Dry the potatoes thoroughly with absorbent paper to ensure a crispier finish.
4. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and grated garlic.
5. Mix with your hands or a spatula until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
6. Spread the potatoes on a baking tray in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
7. Evenly distribute the bacon cubes on top.
8. Bake for 25 minutes without opening the oven, allowing the bacon to render its fat.
9. Remove the tray, toss the potatoes in the bacon fat, and drizzle with honey and lemon juice.
10. Stir to evenly coat the potatoes with the glaze.
11. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy.
12. Remove from the oven, gently mix, and adjust salt if needed.
13. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh chopped parsley for added color and aroma.
