Loaded Hasselback Potatoes



Please a crowd with these fully loaded baked potatoes topped with beef mince, cheese, sour cream and spring onion.

Ingredients

  • 8 Red Royale potatoes
  • 300g Coles Australian 4 Star Beef Mince
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cups (80g) Coles Australian Shredded Tasty Cheddar
  • 1/3 cup (80g) sour cream
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 200C. Place 1 potato on a clean work surface. Place a chopstick on the board along each side of the potato. Use a large sharp knife to thinly slice the potato down to the level of the chopsticks (this stops you from cutting all the way through). Repeat with remaining potatoes. 
  2. Place potatoes cut-side up on a baking tray. Season. Bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender
  3. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook mince, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up lumps, for 5 mins or until cooked through. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup (60ml) water. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until mixture thickens.
  4. Spoon the mince mixture onto the potatoes, pushing into the cuts. Sprinkle with the cheddar. Bake for a further 10-15 mins or until cheddar melts and is golden brown. 
  5. Top with sour cream and sprinkle with spring onion.
