Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 240°C. Place the potato in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over high heat. Cook for 10-15 mins or until just tender. Drain well. Spread the potato on a baking tray and set aside for 15 mins to dry.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat 1 tbs of the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, red chilli, if using, and garlic and cook, stirring, for 4-5 mins or until tender. Add the cumin, coriander and half the paprika. Stir for 30 secs or until aromatic. Add the beans, canned tomato and 1/2 cup (125ml) water. Season. Bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 mins or until the sauce thickens.

  3. Step 3

    Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Drizzle potato with remaining oil. Toss to combine. Arrange in a single layer over the lined tray. Sprinkle with the remaining paprika. Season. Bake, turning occasionally, for 35-40 mins or until potato is golden brown and crisp.
  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle the potato with half the cheddar. Top with the bean mixture and remaining cheddar. Bake for 10-15 mins or until golden brown. Top with mixed tomato, avocado, pickled green chilli, if using, and spring onion to serve.

    Serve with coriander sprigs, sour cream and lime wedges
