Yukon Gold Potatoes Roasted in Bacon Fat with Thyme

Heat oven to 425°F. Place bacon strips in a large roasting pan and cook for 12-15 minutes until crisp and fat has rendered.

Remove bacon to a plate, leaving all the fat in the pan. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.

Add potato wedges to the bacon fat, arranging them cut-side down. Toss to coat thoroughly in the fat. (The cut sides against the pan will develop the best crust)

Scatter onion wedges and whole garlic cloves around the potatoes. Sprinkle everything with thyme, salt, and pepper.

Roast uncovered for 40-45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until potatoes are golden and fork-tender.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately.
