Method

  1. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15-18 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the pancetta for 2-3 minutes, until it begins to sizzle and crisp. Stir in the celery and fennel, then cook for a further 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Remove from the heat, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir in the vinegar, maple syrup or honey and most of the dill.
  3. Drain the potatoes and halve or thickly slice, depending on their size. Toss with the fennel mixture, pile into a serving bowl and scatter over the remaining chopped dill.
