Bacon, Onion, and Herb Roasted Baby Potatoes

Yum

This side dish goes really well with any kind of meat and its so simple to make! Just spend a little more time prepping and let the oven do the rest of the work for you! The bacon was crisped up using the oven, and the fat was used to coat the baby potatoes before baking it. Looking for something to bring to a pot luck party? This is the one to bring! It makes a delicious side dish too!
