Roasted Potatoes with Bacon, Cheese, and Parsley

Ingredients for Roasted Potatoes with Bacon, Cheese, and Parsley

• 1.4kg medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 3 inches in diameter)

• 170g bacon (about 6 slices), halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces

• 2 cucchiai di olio d'oliva

• 120ml grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

• 2 spicchi d'aglio, tritati finemente

• 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Preheat oven to 218°C with rack in lowest position.

Generously cover potatoes with cold water in a 4-quart pot and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 12 minutes. Drain. Cool potatoes to warm, then peel and cut in half crosswise.

Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until cooked through but still flexible. Drain on paper towels, reserving fat in skillet.

Brush bottom of a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan with oil and half of reserved bacon fat. Sprinkle potatoes with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and arrange, cut sides down, in baking pan. Bake until undersides are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 191°C. Turn potatoes over, then sprinkle with cheese, bacon, and garlic and drizzle with remaining bacon fat (if fat congeals, reheat briefly over medium heat). Bake until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
