Bacon & Cheese Toastie With Herby Fries

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries

Add the fries to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and most of your dried oregano (you'll use the rest later!)

Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp – these are your herby fries

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat, once hot, add your bacon lardons and cook for 5-6 min or until golden and crisp

Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate, and reserve the pan

Drain your mozzarella, then pat and squeeze as much liquid out as you can with kitchen paper, then tear the drained mozzarella into rough, bite-sized pieces

Grate your cheddar cheese finely

Slice your ciabatta[s] in half

Slice your tomato[es] into rounds

Top the ciabatta base with the sliced tomato, torn mozzarella and grated cheese

Add the cooked bacon and drizzle over most of your honey (you'll use the rest later!) with a pinch of pepper

Place a ciabatta lid on top – this is your bacon ciabatta

Wipe the reserved pan clean and return it to a medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil

Once hot, add the bacon ciabatta and cover with a smaller pan

Add a heavy weight (eg. several tins) to the top pan and cook for 4-5 min per side, checking occasionally or until the ciabatta is golden and the cheese has melted – this is your bacon & cheese toastie

Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Combine your mayo and grated garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!) in a small bowl with half your white wine vinegar (you'll use the rest later!) and the remaining dried oregano

Add 1/2 tsp [3/4 tsp] [1 tsp] sugar and a small pinch of salt – this is your garlic dip

Wash your salad and pat dry with kitchen paper

Combine the remaining white wine vinegar and the remaining honey in a large bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of pepper – this is your dressing

Add the salad and toss – this is your dressed salad
