For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are well-drained and slightly cooled before peeling and cutting. Don't overcrowd the baking pan; roast in batches if necessary to ensure even browning. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPosition an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C).
02
StepPlace the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork (about 12 minutes). Drain thoroughly.
03
StepReturn the drained potatoes to the pot. Cover with a lid and shake vigorously to roughen the surfaces (about 1 minute). This helps create extra crispy edges. Uncover and let cool slightly until easily handled (about 10 minutes). Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
04
StepIn a skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is tender-crisp (5-7 minutes). Drain the bacon on paper towels, reserving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.
05
StepBrush the bottom of a 10x15-inch baking pan with half of the reserved bacon fat and olive oil mixture. Season the potato chunks generously with salt and pepper, then arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking pan.
06
StepRoast in the preheated oven until the potatoes are golden brown on the bottom (about 30 minutes). Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
07
StepTurn the potatoes over in the baking pan. Sprinkle with the cooked bacon pieces, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and chopped garlic. Drizzle the remaining bacon fat evenly over the potatoes.
08
StepReturn to the oven and continue roasting until the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is melted and bubbly (about 15 minutes). Sprinkle generously with fresh parsley before serving.
