This recipe, Roasted Potatoes with Bacon and Parmesan Crisps, was intended as a hot side dish for any time of the year.

But it’s also delicious room temperature or chilled. Since it doesn’t have mayonnaise, it’s good for a cookout or picnic food safety.

You also save the calories of the mayo.

We’re making it this weekend.

Instead of asking you to fry and crumble bacon, this recipe uses Hormel Real Bacon Crumbles (photo #2). It’s a great labor saver.

Thanks to the Idaho Potato Commission for this recipe.

Although the photo doesn’t show tri-color potatoes, get bag of mixed purple, red and white baby potatoes, or loose potatoes (baby potatoes are also called creamer potatoes—photo #3).

We couldn’t get hold of the Parm Crisps (photo #4), so we used a bit of crumbled Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Although we love Parmigiano-Reggiano, the recipe can stand on its own without any parm.

And you can serve it for any lunch or dinner as a side.
