Ingredients
 
 

  • 300 g Oven Chips
  • 4 Streaky Bacon
  • 2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 70 g Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • 4 Spring Onions
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • ½ tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 230°C (220°C Fan, gas mark 8) or set the temperature according to your packet instructions.
  • Place the oven fries into a roasting tray. Sprinkle a tablespoon of oil, followed by ½ teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning. Toss the chips around until the oil and seasonings evenly coat them.

  • Place the fries in the oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until they are soft and starting to turn golden brown.
  • While the fries are cooking in the oven, with a sharp knife cut the bacon into pieces. Chop the red bell pepper into small cubes and peel and dice the onion.
    Note: After removing the fries from the oven, reduce the temperature to 180°C (160°C Fan, gas mark 4).

  • In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Stir-fry the sliced onions, bell peppers, and bacon pieces until the onions start to soften and the bacon is cooked. You can continue frying if you prefer them crispy.
  • Pour the onion, bacon and bell pepper mixture over the fries. Sprinkle chopped spring onions and top with grated cheese. Cook in the oven until the cheese has melted (this takes me roughly 10 to 15 minutes).

Notes

Recipe Variations

Change The Vegetable: You don't have to stick with potatoes, have a go at making this recipe with sweet potato fries (they taste just as good in my opinion) or even parsnips and butternut squash. You could make the chips yourself using fresh potatoes cut into small sticks, a potato cutter would be handy in easily cutting your potatoes to the right size effortlessly.
Drizzle With Thin Mayonnaise: If you're a fan of mayonnaise, mix mayonnaise with just a bit of milk to make thin mayonnaise to drizzle all over your chips. I LOVE garlic sauce, so I do drizzle some of that on top.
Changing The Toppings: Go crazy with your toppings, you can never have too much! You can add multiple types of cheeses, pulled pork, mince and so much more. Trust me, there's always room for more toppings.
