Roasted Apple and Potato Hash

A delicious sweet and savoury spin on a classic hash, all done on one pan in the oven. This works as a side dish for breakfast, brunch and even dinner. The unexpected subtle sweetness of the Ontario Honeycrisp mingles perfectly with the smoky bacon and hearty potato mixture. To make it a complete meal consider adding either a fried egg to the top or some crunchy chicken fingers.
