Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
  2. Boil the potatoes for 15 mins until tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper and drizzle over the oil. Add the potatoes to the tray and coat in the oil. Use a glass to gently ‘smash’ the potatoes so they flatten and are crushed. Season with salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 40 mins, turning halfway. They should be a deep golden brown and crispy.
  4. Meanwhile, grill the bacon until golden and crispy. Set aside and finely chop.
  5. In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, yogurt, white wine vinegar and mustard. Stir in the sprouts, chives, dill and cranberries.
  6. Add the potatoes and bacon bits to the dressing and toss everything together. Serve immediately with extra chives for garnish.
