Roasted Baby Potatoes with Onion and Bacon
Easy to make and perfect for a busy weeknight meal, roasted baby potatoes with onion and bacon make a side dish full of flavor.
This roasted baby potatoes with onions and bacon recipe is easy to make, and pairs well with many different main dishes. I love the crisp outer layer of the potatoes with their creamy and tender centers, the salty, crispy bacon bits, and the sweet, tender, and caramelized onions–such a great combination. This baby potato side dish is always a hit, and we thought it paired well with roasted chicken, a simple (but tasty) salad, and some cheesy garlic bread.

Roasted Baby Potatoes with Onion and Bacon
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
