Ingredients

• 1 lb floury potatoes
• 2 lbs tart dessert apples
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 4 oz bacon chopped
• 1 large onion chopped
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  

Directions

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes until just tender. Drain then press through a potato ricer or mash well.
2. Meanwhile cook the apples in about 4 tablespoons of water with a little butter, stirring occasionally until they break down to a purée. Mix into the potatoes and season well. Set aside to keep warm.
3. Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the bacon for about 5 to 7 minutes until cooked and crisp. Scoop on top of the potato-apple mix. Add the onion to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and golden.
4. Mix these into the potato and apple, check the seasoning and serve.
