- While the potatoes cool, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon for 4-5minutes until crispy, drain and reserve the oil. Mix the bacon with the spring onions.
- Half the potatoes and scoop out the middle of the potato, leaving a 1cm border, cut each in half lengthways and place on a baking tray lined with parchment. Brush with the bacon oil, season and bake for 20 minutes until beginning to crisp around the edges.
