Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

 In a large bowl, toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.

 Spread potatoes cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.

 While potatoes roast, cook chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

 Remove potatoes from oven, flip them, and sprinkle cooked bacon evenly over the top. Return to oven for 10–15 minutes until potatoes are golden and tender.

 Drizzle honey over the hot potatoes and gently toss to coat. Add minced garlic during the last 5 minutes of roasting if you prefer a roasted garlic flavor.

 Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
