CRISPY POTATOES WITH BACON, GARLIC, AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then drain. Pat dry.
• Meanwhile, put the bacon in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a saute pan over medium-low heat, and cook until nearly all the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, aromatic, and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
• Add the 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the remaining bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes, positioning them in the pan so the cut sides get nice and brown. Cook turning only as needed until the potatoes are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, and bacon and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Serve.

BRIE & BACON TOASTIES

Steps:

• Set the grill on high and put a sheet of foil under the grill rack to catch any cooking juices and save on washing up later. Lay the bacon on the rack and grill for 2 minutes. While it is grilling, slice the cheese (aim to get about 8 long slices) and core and slice the pear.
• Put the slices of bread under the grill as well for just under a minute until the bread is evenly toasted on one side only. Keep an eye on it - a whole minute is just that little bit too long and the bread may start to char.
• Flick the bread over and cover the untoasted sides first with a layer of pear slices, then the grilled bacon and then the rest of the pear slices. Don't worry if it looks a little rough and ready - it all adds to the effect. Drape the brie on top and scatter over the pecans, roughly breaking them with your fingers as you go.
• Grill for another minute or so, until the cheese is melted and oozy. Remove and eat straight away with the rocket or watercress on the side.
