Brussel Sprouts, Potatoes and Bacon

My Mom made this side dish for Easter.  I love brussel sprouts and my family loves potatoes - so having it together in one pot was winner winner chicken dinner (or I guess winner winner ham dinner on this particular day.)  The bacon is what makes this side heavenly.

The picture above is having it all ready to pop in the oven.  Aren't the brussel sprouts pretty?  The bacon helps give a pop of color.  That's right my friends... "pop of color" isn't just for fashion.  Doesn't everyone like pretty food?  :D

Let's Get Crafty!
Preheat the oven to 400

Get the stars of show show together:
2 lbs red potatoes, diced into 1 inch chunks
1 lb brussel sprouts, cut in half
1 lb bacon, cooked and cut into bite-size pieces

Whisk together the sauce:
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon rosemary (Whoohoo! It's almost time for my herb garden!)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Mix the sauce with the potatoes and brussel sprouts then sprinkle the bacon on top.  
(You might need to taste a couple pieces just to make sure it's okay to serve your family.)

Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes.  The potatoes should be cooked through and the brussel sprouts should be starting to get charred around the edges with the bacon nice and crispy.
