From your kitchen:

CRISPY FRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Generously cover the base of a roasting tray in oil. Add the Potato chips, season well, and toss until coated. Spread out in a single layer and roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crispy. At the halfway mark, gently shift the chips and drain any excess oil – lose it or reuse it! Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time.
START THE MUSIC
When the chips reach the halfway mark, place a pan (that has a lid) over a medium heat. When hot, fry the bacon for 2 minutes per side until cooked but not too crispy. Remove on completion and set aside to drain on paper towel, keeping the pan of oil on the heat. Add a knob of butter (optional) and fry the sliced Onion for 7-8 minutes, shifting occasionally.
NOW WE’RE JAMMING
When the Onion is soft and caramelised, reduce the heat to low. Roughly chop the bacon and add to the pan. Stir in the Honey and 30ml of water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly, until sticky and reduced by a ¼. Transfer to a small bowl, cover to keep warm, and set aside for serving.
CREAMY & CHEESY
Season the Dijon Mayo to taste and set aside for serving. Butter the halved Burger Bun or drizzle with oil.
WONDROUS PATTY
Wipe down the pan and return it to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the patty for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. (This time frame will yield a medium-rare result.) Top the patty with the grated cheese and pop on a lid. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Place the bun halves in the oven for 2 minutes until the bread is warmed through.
