Cooking Steps
ā¢ Set air fryer to 200Ā°C.
ā¢ Cut potato in half.
ā¢ In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and salt and toss potatoes to coat.
ā¢ Place potato into the air fryer basket, cut-side down and cook until golden and tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 200Ā°C/180Ā°C fan-forced. Prepare potatoes as above. Place potato halves on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Arrange cut-side down and roast until crisp and tender, 40-45 minutes.
ā¢ Meanwhile, finely chop red onion (see ingredients).
ā¢ When the potato has 15 minutes remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Cook beef mince and diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
ā¢ Add tomato paste, All-American spice blend and the brown sugar and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the tomato paste and spice blend.
ā¢ Add the water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly thickened, 5 minutes.
ā¢ Season with salt and pepper.
ā¢ Meanwhile, thinly slice apple.
ā¢ In a second large bowl, combine the honey and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
ā¢ Add apple and spinach & rocket mix. Toss to coat.
ā¢ Divide jacket potatoes between plates.
ā¢ Top with mince, Cheddar cheese and light sour cream. Serve with salad. Enjoy!
