Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Halve the salad potatoes widthways (no need to peel) and pop them onto a baking tray.
Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the peri peri seasoning, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer, cut-side down.
When the oven is hot, roast the potato on the top shelf for 20 mins.
Meanwhile, zest and cut the lime into wedges.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, lime zest, olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount) and a squeeze of lime juice. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.
Season with salt and pepper, then set your honey dressing aside.
Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
Heat a large frying pan on high heat (no oil). Once hot, add the sweetcorn and cook until charred, 5-6 mins. Adjust the heat if necessary. Stir only twice during this time - you want the sweetcorn to pick up some nice colour. Once charred, set aside for later.
Put the pan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the bacon lardons. Stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins. Set aside. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
When the potatoes have been roasting for 20 mins, remove them from the oven.
Use the bottom of a bowl or pan to lightly crush each potato half.
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with the honey dressing, then return to the top shelf until crispy and golden, 12-15 mins.
Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.
Add the tomato chunks to the charred corn bowl. Crumble in the Greek style salad cheese. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime juice. Toss to combine.
Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto your board. Cut into 2cm chunks. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.
When everything's ready, share the smashed potatoes between your plates.
Spoon over the charred corn salsa and top with the avocado chunks.
Finish by drizzling over the soured cream.
Enjoy!
Step 3 MOD: If you’ve chosen to add bacon, fry after charring the sweetcorn. Put the pan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the bacon. Stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins, then set aside until serving. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
