How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- Add potatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper to a large bowl and toss to coat. Tip potatoes into a roasting tray and arrange in a single layer. Cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
- While potatoes are cooking, prepare the beef by heating a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add beef, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and tomato paste and cook until the beef is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe the frying pan with paper towel, then return to the heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook bacon until crisp, then drain on paper towel.
- To assemble the tray, spoon the beef mince and bacon evenly over the potatoes. Combine mozzarella and Millel Pecorino in a bowl and sprinkle over the top of the potatoes. Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Serve dolloped with sour cream and scattered with sliced spring onions.
