Let’s dive into creating this heartwarming dish:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking tray in a single layer.
4. Scatter the diced bacon over the potatoes, ensuring even distribution for balanced flavor.
5. Drizzle the honey over the potatoes and bacon, allowing it to caramelize during roasting.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the bacon is crispy. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh rosemary before serving.

Remember, the key to this dish is patience. Letting the flavors meld together while the potatoes roast is what makes this dish truly special.
