½tsp.salt

Instructions
In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Once cooled, crumble the bacon. Leave about 1 tbsp of the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add olive oil and butter to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Once melted, add the potatoes, cut side down. Let them sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Stir in garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika and oregano. Toss the potatoes gently to coat them evenly with the seasonings. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in chopped rosemary and crumbled bacon. Let the potatoes cook for another 2 minutes to absorb the flavors. Garnish with parsley & serve!
Recipe Tips
Swap smoked paprika for cayenne if you like a bit of spice.Try adding Parmesan cheese at the end for extra richness.For a tangy twist, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze before serving.Parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before sautéing to speed up the cooking process.You can also roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes instead of using a skillet.
