Instruction

  • Clean and peel the potatoes and cut them into even size chunks
  • Boil them in salted water for about 10 min and then add the cleaned and chopped apples into the boiling water
  • Add the cinnamon stick as well
  • Leave to boil for another 10 minutes or until both apples and potatoes are to your liking
  • I like mine to be fairly chunky but that is a personal preference In the mean time bake the streaky bacon in a dry frying pan until crispy and set aside to drain on paper towels
  • Slice a few apple pieces and melt a little butter in a fryin pan
  • Add the apple slices to it and add a bit of maple syrup into the pan as well as some cinnamon
  • Let it simmer until the apple is soft
  • Prepare a plate with one whisked egg and one plate with sesame seeds
  • Cut your cheese into the required size
  • The smaller it is, the easier it is too handle
  • Dip the cheese into the egg and make sure it coats all sides
  • Then dip the cheese into the sesame seeds and make sure it is covered everywhere
  • Heat a non stick frying pan on high until nice and hot
  • Put the cheese slice in and bake until the sesame seeds are brown
  • You have to do this rather quickly or the cheese will melt completely
  • Turn and bake the other side
  • Drain the apples and potatoes and mash them together
  • Taste and add cinnamon and salt where needed
  • Remove the cinnamon stick before mashing
