Caesar Salad & homemade thin chips

Serves 4

Ingredients:

For the salad:
2 thick slices of bread
1 tbsp olive oil
3 thick rashers of bacon, cooked
3-4 tbsp ready prepared Caesar dressing
1 cos or romaine lettuce, leaves separated

For the chips:
3-4 medium potatoes, such as Maris Piper, King Edward or Desirée (about 1kg)
1 tbsp olive oil

Method:

Heat oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.

Tear the slices of bread into 2cm pieces. Spread over a large baking sheet or tray and drizzle with the olive oil.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, turning the croutons a few times during cooking so they brown evenly.

Cut the unpeeled potatoes into thin chips, measuring about 5mm wide.

Place the potatoes and oil in a plastic bag and shake gently to coat. Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray.

Cook the chips for 25-30 minutes or until golden and fluffy.

Meanwhile, cut the bacon into small pieces. Tear lettuce into large pieces and put in a large bowl. Top with the bacon and croutons and add the dressing.
