Recipe Details

We’re obsessed with this crispy potatoes recipe with bacon. Our black treacle streaky bacon gives these crispy roasted potatoes a lovely smokey but sweet flavour and added crunch. We think this might be one of our new favourite recipes with bacon and potatoes. The perfect Summer food recipe.

Ingredients

  • 750g baby potatoes
  • 6 to 8 rashers of The Jolly Hog Black Treacle Streaky Bacon
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp onion granules
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • A handful of fresh herbs of your choice (parsley, chives, dill...)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • Juice of half a lemon

Method

  1. Preheat your grill to a medium setting
  2. Place the bacon rashers on a lined baking tray and grill for 4 to 8 minutes or until nice and crispy. We recommend flipping them half way through to get an even crisp. Remove from the grill and once cooled, chop into small pieces to scatter later.
  3. Once the bacon is done, refresh the tray with new paper. Switch the grill to an oven setting at 220. Cut the baby potatoes in half, place on the tray and drizzle over olive oil.
  4. Season the potatoes generously with paprika, cayenne pepper, mixed herbs, onion granules, garlic granules, salt & pepper. Roast for about 30-35 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, make your dip. Blitz 3 tbsp sour cream, 2 tbsp light mayonnaise, a handful of fresh herbs, fresh lemon juice, (about ½ a lemon) 2 garlic cloves and a little salt & pepper. Taste and adjust as needed. Pop in the fridge to keep cool whilst your potatoes are getting nice and crisp.
  6. Plate up your crispy roast potatoes with your dip and scatter over our British bacon pieces, as well as fresh herbs and an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper.
