Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 2cm chunks. Place the potato onto an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the potato to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time.
While the potato is roasting, combine the beef mince, Aussie spice blend, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients list), egg, grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Using damp hands, form heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into balls then flatten to make 2cm thick rissoles. Transfer to a plate. You should get about 4-5 rissoles per person.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts (see ingredients list) and toast until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the rissoles and cook until browned all over and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side.
While the rissoles are cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes.
Add the basil pesto to the roasted potatoes and toss to combine on the oven tray. In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the cherry tomatoes and mixed salad leaves. Toss to combine.
Divide the garlic and herb Parmesan rissoles, pesto potatoes and salad between plates. Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the salad. Serve with the garlic aioli.
