Steps:
- One day ahead: Place the duck legs in a dish and sprinkle over the salt, rubbing it into the skin. Cover with cling film and chill.
- On the day: Rinse the duck legs under cold water to remove the salt. Pat dry with a clean towel. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/ gas 3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Place the duck, fat-side down, in the pan and cook gently for 15 mins until crisp and golden.
- Flip the duck and pour off the fat into a small bowl - keep this for later. Cook for a further 15-20 mins, then transfer to a roasting dish. If your pan isn't big enough, cook the duck in batches. When all the duck is cooked, put in the oven for 40-50 mins while you finish the dish.
- Put the onions in a pan with 1 tbsp of the reserved duck fat and gently cook for 20 mins until golden. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 15 mins in a pan of salted water, then drain, peel and leave to cool.
- Tip 2 tbsp of the reserved fat into the duck pan and add the potatoes, bacon, onions and sage. Fry for 10 mins until golden, then add the spinach. Cook for 4 mins to wilt the spinach, then add the vinegar. Turn up the heat to bubble off any excess liquid, then spread this over a large serving plate. Arrange the duck on top and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay 4 bacon slices on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; let cool completely.
- Make the bacon salt (see below). Store extra in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 2 months.
- Put the potatoes and the remaining 2 bacon slices in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bacon slices.
- Combine the butter with the milk in the same pot and let melt over medium-low heat. Return the potatoes to the pot and mash them with a potato masher or fork. Add 1 tablespoon of the prepared bacon salt and stir to combine; transfer the potatoes to a bowl and top with more bacon salt.
- How to make Bacon Salt:
- Pulse the cooked bacon in a food processor until finely ground. Spread on paper towels and blot the excess grease.
- Combine the bacon and salt in a small bowl and rub between your fingers until incorporated.

SWEET POTATOES WITH BACON AND SPINACH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a large bowl and toss with the sugar and reduced sherry.
- In a medium sauté pan, cook the butter over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, until it's brown and smells nutty. Remove from the heat and let cool a few minutes. Add the sage and thyme to the butter, and pour it over the sweet potatoes, scraping the pan with a rubber spatula to get all the brown bits. Toss with a large spoon, being careful of the hot butter. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large roasting pan and bake in the oven 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the potatoes are caramelized and tender. Stir with a metal spatula every so often, to coat the potatoes evenly with the butter and sugar.
- While the potatoes are cooking, slice the bacon lengthwise into 3/8-inch-thick slices. Stack them in two piles, then cut the strips crosswise into 3/8-inch even-sided rectangles, or lardons. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the bacon, and cook about 5 minutes, until it's tender and lightly crisped. Using a slotted spoon, transfer it to a plate.
- When the sweet potatoes are done, remove the pan from the oven and toss in the bacon and spinach. Taste for seasoning.
