Dirty Fries
With flavours of Worcester sauce and Cajun seasoning...different but delicious all at the same time!!
Ingredients
- 450g potatoes left unpeeled (if you like) and cut into chips
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 1.5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 rashers smoked back bacon chopped (or 4 rashers of smoked streaky bacon)
- 1 red pepper finely chopped
- 60g grated cheese we like to use 20g each of red leicester, extra mature cheddar and mozzarella
- 2 spring onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 230C fan.
- Parboil the chips in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes, then drain well.
- Meanwhile, in a small frying pan, heat the olive oil over a high heat and add the chopped bacon. Fry for 1 minute, stirring frequently, before adding the chopped peppers and frying for a further 3 minutes. Stir frequently and then transfer to a plate with kitchen roll to drain and cool.
- Then, spread the parboiled chips evenly into a roasting tin and drizzle with the rapeseed oil, Worcestershire sauce and Cajun seasoning. Toss together to ensure each chip is evenly coated.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the oven, turning them at least twice, until golden brown and crisp, then remove them from the oven.
- Stir through the cooked peppers and bacon, then sprinkle over the grated cheese and spring onions. Return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve and enjoy!
