Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Place the potato across two oven trays lined with baking paper. Sprinkle over the smoked paprika (see ingredients list), drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then bake for 20 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven, sprinkle over the shredded Cheddar cheese (see ingredients list) and bake until melted and golden, 5 minutes.

2

While the fries are baking, roughly chop the cucumber. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Zest the lime (see ingredients list) to get a generous pinch and cut into wedges. Roughly chop the coriander.

3

To a large bowl, add the pork mince, Tex-Mex spice blend, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients list), eggs and salt. Mix well to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Using damp hands, form heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into meatballs then flatten to make 2cm thick rissoles and set aside on a plate. You should get about 4-5 rissoles per person.

4

Heat a large frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Working in batches, add 1/2 the pork rissoles to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining rissoles.

5

While the rissoles are cooking, in a small bowl, add the sour cream and lime zest. Stir to combine. To a medium bowl, add the cherry tomato, cucumber, a squeeze of lime juice, coriander and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

6

Divide the Mexican pork rissoles, smokey cheese fries and salsa between plates. Top the rissoles with a dollop of the lime sour cream. Serve with the remaining lime wedges.
