Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Prick the sweet potatoes all over then roast on a baking tray for 45 minutes or until crisp and cooked through.
step 2
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a frying pan over a low heat until the fat starts to render. Turn up the heat and fry until lightly golden. Add the onion and cook for 6-8 minutes or until soft.
step 3
Add the sweetcorn and stock to the pan, and simmer gently until the stock is reduced by 1/2. Add the cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Season well and stir in the parsley. Split the baked potatoes and spoon over the succotash. Serve with a dressed salad, if you like.
