Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. • Slice each potato in half. Place potato halves, cut-side down on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Bake until crisp and tender, 30-35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice apple. Grate carrot. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of the white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add apple and mixed salad leaves. Set aside.
TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp!
• When the potato has 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince and carrot, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add All-American spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium. Add sweet & savoury glaze and the water. Stir to combine. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the spice blend.
• Toss apple salad to combine. • Divide jacket potatoes between plates. Top with beef and shredded Cheddar cheese. • Serve with salad and garlic aioli. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The seasoned beef mince and crispy jacket potatoes were a hit with families, though some found the sweet and savoury glaze too sweet, especially when paired with sweet potato.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and stress-free weeknight meal, with the oven doing most of the work while the mince comes together fast on the cooktop.
- Suggestions: Several customers swapped the garlic aioli for sour cream and found it a better match; others added onion, garlic, or a splash of tomato paste to the mince for extra depth. If the glaze feels too sweet, reducing the amount or balancing it with chilli or tomato paste worked well for some.
- Leftovers: A number of customers noted the dish reheated well the next day, making it a great option for lunch.
- Portions: Many found the potatoes on the small side and added one or two extra from their own pantry to make the meal more filling for the whole family.
