Heat up the oven to 180°C. Prepare a baking tray with some baking parchment and put the bacon on it. Put the tray into the oven and let the bacon get crispy. Will take about 5 minutes but keep an eye on it!
Wash and pad dry the lamb’s lettuce. Wash the fennel and slice it thinly with a mandoline. Also use the fennel green! Wash the cucumber and cut out balls with a melon baller. Just before ready to serve add fennel, cucumber and lamb’s lettuce to the marinated potatoes.
