Bacon, egg & celeriac chips

-

BY USING cooking bacon, available at most supermarke­ts, you can save on the cost of the gammon usually used for this dish. Cooking bacon means offcuts and is perfectly good to eat and usually contains plenty of fat, which helps the flavour of the dish and keeps you satiated.

Melt the fat on a baking tray in the oven. Then take it out and toss the celeriac chips in the fat, and season with a little salt and plenty of black pepper. Put back into the oven. After 15 minutes, remove the tray and move the chips around to make sure they are coated in the fat.

Season with more salt and pepper and put back into the oven for 3 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Serve straight away on warm plates.
