Potato and celeriac spider with bacon and egg mayonnaise
A crispy rosti of potato and celeriac is great to rustle up as part of a midweek supper, but serving with a bacon and egg mayo and getting creative with the presentation, as Galton Blackiston does, means you've got a fun kids meal or spooky Halloween party dish.
