Instructions 

Gotcha Pork Roast

  • Peel and cut 300 g potato(s). Place them inside a large pot and fill with cold water until the potatoes are fully submerged. Add 1 tsp salt, 1 pinch ground black pepper, 1 clove garlic and one sprig of rosemary to the pot and boil for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft enough to mash.

  • While you are waiting for the potatoes, heat a frying pan on medium and add half of the butter and and ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Once the butter is melted, add 100 g yellow onion(s) and fry until slightly softened.

Assembling and Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 200 °C (392 °F).
  • Remove the mashed potato from the plastic and wrap with 8 slices streaky bacon. I recommend wrapping the ends first and then work your way to the middle, ensuring there are no gaps.
