Ingredients

• 8 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 6 medium russet potatoes
• Garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove bacon using a slotted spoon, and let drain on paper towels, reserving 1/4 cup drippings in pan.

3. Add garlic to pan; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in salt, paprika and pepper until combined.

4. Cut 1/8 to 1/4-inch-thick slits crosswise into potatoes, being careful not to cut all the way through. Place potatoes on prepared pan. Brush with bacon drippings mixture.

5. Bake until fork tender, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with bacon. Garnish with parsley.
