How to Make Yukon Gold Roasted Potatoes With Bacon Onion And Garlic

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare a large roasting pan.
  3. Cook 6 slices bacon in the oven until crispy (approximately 15-20 minutes). Remove from oven, crumble, and set aside to cool.
  4. Cut 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch wedges.
  5. Place potato wedges skin-side down in the roasting pan.
  6. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of bacon fat reserved from step 3.
  7. Add 1 large onion, cut into wedges.
  8. Add 10-12 cloves garlic, peeled.
  9. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon rubbed thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Toss to coat everything evenly.
  11. Roast uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender and browned, stirring halfway through.
  12. (Optional) If using mushrooms: While potatoes are roasting, toss 1 lb fresh mushrooms with 1 tablespoon butter or oil. Roast separately for 15-20 minutes until softened.
  13. (Optional) Add roasted mushrooms to the roasting pan in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  14. Before serving, sprinkle with crumbled bacon and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
