Ingredients
- 4 bacon strips
- 4 large potatoes such as Russets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 garlic cloves , minced
- 2 tbsp honey , or more to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley , to serve
- Salt and ground pepper , to taste
Instructions
- Place the strips of bacon in the air fryer basket, spaced slightly apart. Air fry at 400°F / 200°C for 5-6 minutes or until the bacon is crisp. Use tongs to transfer the bacon onto a paper towel and allow it to cool down. Cut into small cubes and set aside.
- Give the potatoes a good rinse, pat dry then cut into small, evenly-sized cubes. I don't peel the potatoes but you can do that if preferred (there's lots of nutrients in potato skin if you need an excuse to be lazy).
- Add the potatoes to the air fryer basket (without cleaning it first as we want any bacon fat released during cooking). Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and Italian seasoning.
- Toss everything together and air fry at 400°F / 200°C for 15 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously once or twice. The potatoes should be pretty tender if pierced with a knife at this point.
- Drizzle honey over the potatoes, add the minced garlic and bacon and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crisp.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve immediately!

Notes
- Leftovers will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the air fryer for 5 minutes or so before serving to crisp the potatoes up again.
- Spread the potatoes out in a single layer if possible so they cook evenly and get nicely crunchy!
- Don't be too heavy handed with the seasoning as the bacon will add a fair bit of saltiness to the potatoes.
- For a vegan variation you can replace the honey with maple syrup and leave out the bacon or swap it with a plant-based equivalent.
