She explained: “You’re going to take your potatoes cut down to the same sizes and trim them up a little bit extra fancy and make them nice and round.
“Then wrap a bit of streaky bacon around them and put a sprig of rosemary in it to keep it together – it looks so festive.”
Poppy then showed how the next step is to place the potatoes into a pan filled with heated oil.
She continued: “We’re going to cover them on one side, flip them over and add some clarified butter, almost to the top and then a little bit of stock just to cover.
