Bangin’ Bonfire Bacon Potatoes

Hosting A Bonfire Night BBQ?

Get Your Sides On With Our Bangin’ Bonfire Bacon Potatoes!

When you’re planning out your ultimate Bonfire Night BBQ, you need to think about how you can do more than just meat. Sure, meat is the main BBQ event – we all know that – but those sides… those sides are going to set off the whole meal and change the game for your guests. Think about it: pasta is not complete with garlic bread, pizza is not complete without a dip – you get the picture!

At Ross and Ross, we reckon that the sides are every bit as important as the main event. The possibilities are endless, and the flavour combinations are stunning – especially when it comes to our Bonfire Bacon Potatoes. Bacon is the main event, and potatoes are food for the soul, so when you put them together on a cold and crispy night, you get the best kind of sizzle. To get it right, you need our homemade bacon making kit, and we’ve got the scoop on why!
