The default recipe serves 2.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200g / 7oz oven chips or fries
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3 rashers streaky bacon, sliced into small pieces (see note 1,2)
- 1/2 red onion, very finely diced
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 spring onion, finely sliced on the diagonal
- 30g grated cheddar (see note 3,4)
- 1/2 tomato, seeds removed and finely diced
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Bake the chips according to the package direction. (see note 5)
- When the chips are nearly done heat the olive oil in a frying pan/skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes until starting to brown.
- Add the onion to the pan and continue to cook the onion and bacon for around 5 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the onion softened. Reduce the heat a little if needed.
- Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, paprika and spring onion and toss everything together. Season to taste.
- Arrange the chips/fries on a plate and scatter the cheese over them. You can pop it into the oven for a minute or so to completely melt the cheese if needed.
- Spoon the bacon mixture on top and then top with the chopped tomatoes and parsley.
Notes
- You can use back bacon instead but just use 1 or 2 slices.
- Top hack: use kitchen scissors to snip the bacon into pieces rather than trying to slice it with a knife
- Any meltable cheese can be substituted.
- Make sure to grate the cheese yourself rather than buying pre-packaged grated cheese, which uses additives that prevent it from melting as well.
- For best results place a wire rack over the baking tray and place the chips on top which will help them cook more evenly.
