Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Using a fork, prick potatoes all over. Wrap each potato in a piece of foil to enclose. Bake for 50 minutes or until tender. Cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Remove and discard foil. Cut potatoes in half lengthways. Leaving a 5mm border, scoop out potato flesh, being careful not to go all the way to the skin (see note). Cut each potato in half again to form quarters. Place on 2 large baking trays. Spray with oil. Season well with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make Mild chilli beef: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and capsicum. Cook for 5 minutes or until onion has softened. Add mince. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add garlic, chilli powder and coriander. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add tomato, stock and beans. Cook for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
