Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
Pop the chips onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, bake on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Grate the Cheddar Cheese. Quarter, core and slice the apple (no need to peel). Slice the buns top down through the middle (but not all the way through)
Roll the sausage meat into even-sized balls, 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
Pop the meatballs onto a baking tray and set aside for later.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a small saucepan on medium heat.
Once hot, add the garlic and tomato puree. Fry for 1-2 mins.
Next, add the mixed herbs, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 mins.
Once thickened, stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted, 1 min more. Remove from the heat.
Taste and season with more salt, pepper and sugar if you feel it needs it.

When the chips have around 10-15 mins remaining, pop the meatballs to bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Once cooked, add them to the marinara sauce and stir until coated in the sauce.
Make kid friendly: If your kids aren't keen on the marinara, save a portion of the meatballs aside for them and mix the rest for with the sauce for everyone else.

Pop the buns on the (now empty) meatball baking tray.
Fill the buns with the meatballs and spoon over any remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle over the Cheddar cheese.
Pop the buns onto the top shelf until melted and golden, 3-4 mins.

When everything's ready, share the buns between plates.
Add the apple and rocket to a serving bowl, drizzle over the balsamic glaze and mix to coat. Serve the salad and chips alongside the buns.
Make kid friendly: If your kids aren't keen on the apple salad, save a portion of the apple slices for them to have separately and mix the rest together for everyone else.
Sprinkle the chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder) over the buns for those who'd like.
