Ingredients

    Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes - 2 lbs. (24 oz.) **
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 3 tbs
    Thyme (pref. fresh, but dried works just as well) - 4 tsp
    Old Bay - 4 tsp ***
    White Pepper - 2 tsp
    Real Crumbled Bacon (like the kind made by Hormel) - 4 tbsp
    Pam Olive Oil cooking spray - Just enough to coat a cookie sheet

    ** Fingerling or Baby Red Skinned Potatoes are also a good substitute**

    *** For a lower-sodium, smokier version, replace half of the Old Bay with 2 tsp. Smoked Paprika***

Directions

MAKES 6 ~4OZ. SERVINGS

Preheat your oven to 350.

Without peeling them, cut potatoes into even chunks - if they're small, quartering them should work just fine... otherwise, pieces that are roughly 1 in. in thickness and height should work.

In a large zip-top bag, combine your potatoes, the EVOO, thyme, crumbled bacon, Old Bay and White Pepper. Seal the top and toss the contents to coat the potatoes with the oil and spices.

Lightly spray a cookie sheet with the cooking spray, then pour out your coated potatoes and bacon onto the sheet. Spread evenly.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes, then stir, turning over the potatoes in order to let them crisp on their other side. If you wish, sprinkle a little additional thyme on the turned potatoes.

Bake another 15-20 minutes or until the outsides of the potatoes are lightly browning and crisp, and moist and tender on the inside.

Serve immediately.
