Crispy potato roast

If you like a traditional potato bake, but don’t like the heavy cream and cheese that go along with that, you might want to try this crispy spin on that classic dish.

• 1kg russet potatoes, peeled
• 1 ½ tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 shallots, peeled and thinly-sliced
• Salt
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon ground pepper (or red pepper flakes)
• 50g diced bacon
• 3 to 4 sprigs fresh thyme
