Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat; add the diced potatoes and fry until golden, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until translucent, 2 minutes.
  3. Push the veg to the side, add the mince, break it up and brown – cook until no longer pink, 5‑6 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomatoes and herbs, season, and let simmer 5 minutes so flavours meld.
  5. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top, cover the pan and let melt for 2 minutes.
  6. Finish with a knob of butter for extra gloss, then serve hot.

Pat the potatoes dry before frying; moisture is the enemy of crispness!

Pairs beautifully with Sing‑along to 80s Eurovision hits while plating.

The verdict, please.
