2.Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add shallot and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft. Add potatoes and pancetta and cook for 3-4 minutes or until pancetta is crisp, then add vinegar and lemon juice, remove from heat and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Note Cacciotta is a semi-soft cheese made from cow’s and/sheep’s milk. We used a chilli and rocket version available from Paesanella Cheese, Fratelli Fresh and Simon Johnson. If unavailable, substitute with plain cacciotta.
