Toppings

Now I will admit, the ingredient list for this recipe is a little longer than my usual recipes…BUT that doesn’t mean that it isn’t easy and cheap to make (because it definitely is!). There are four main elements to these savoury mince potatoes…

The Potatoes – the main part of a loaded jacket potato is, well; the potatoes. Just rub them with a little oil and season them with salt and pepper.

The Mince – Savoury Mince is one of those delicious Australian meals that everyone seems to have a different take on. For this one, I’ve kept it simple with just a few sauces, seasonings and of course, some onion and garlic.

The Coleslaw – a bit of red cabbage, carrot and capsicum make up this delicious topping! drowned in an easy homemade coleslaw dressing, this is sure to be a winner!

The Finishing Touches – to finish off this amazing meal, I like to melt the cheese over the mince, add coleslaw and then top with sour cream! Yum!
