Yukon Gold Roasted Potatoes With Bacon, Onion And Garlic - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    10 slices bacon (can use more)
    5 large yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled and cut lengthwise into 4 large wedges
    3 medium onions, cut into 4 wedges
    20 garlic cloves, peeled (or to taste, about 2 large heads, separated and peeled)
    3 teaspoons dried thyme (or to taste, rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
    salt and black pepper (I use seasoning salt)
Preparation
    Set oven to 425\u00b0F.
    Prepare a large roasting pan.
    In the roasting pan cook the bacon in the oven until crisp (this should take about 10 minutes) remove from the roaster and crumble, then set aside to a plate to cool slightly (DO NOT drain the bacon fat, leave in the roaster).
    Place the potato wedges skin-side down in the roasting pan; toss to coat in the bacon fat (you can also add in some oil if it seems too dry).
    Add in onion wedges (the onion wedges will separate).
    Sprinkle the peeled garlic cloves in the pan around the potatoes and onions.
    Sprinkle the veggies with rubbed thyme, salt and pepper.
    Roast uncovered for about 40-45 minutes, or until the potato wedges are fork-tender and browned.
    Before serving sprinkle with crumbled bacon and season with more salt and pepper if desired).
