Create a delicious family meal with leftover meat sauce

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes
• Leftover Bolognese sauce (quantity not specified)
• Grated cheese (quantity not specified)
• Olive oil, vegetable oil, or cooking spray
• Sour cream
• Sliced jalapeños
• Chili powder (optional)

Method

1. Cook the potatoes. * Microwave the whole potatoes until they are tender.
2. Prepare for crisping. * Cut each potato in half. * Arrange the potato halves cut-side up on a baking tray.
3. Oil the potatoes. * Brush the cut surfaces lightly with olive oil, vegetable oil, or another cooking oil. Cooking spray may also be used.
4. Crisp the potatoes. * Place the potatoes in an air fryer and cook for 10–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy. * Alternatively, bake them in a conventional oven until crisp.
5. Add the toppings. * Spoon the leftover Bolognese sauce over each potato half. * Sprinkle generously with grated cheese.
6. Melt the cheese. * Return the potatoes to the air fryer (or oven) for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
7. Finish the dish. * Top with a dollop of sour cream. * Add sliced jalapeños. * Finish with a light sprinkle of chili powder for extra heat, if desired.
8. Serve. * Serve immediately while hot. ---

Notes

• This recipe is designed as a "use-up" meal, making excellent use of leftover Bolognese sauce.
• The transcript specifies:
• 6 potatoes
• Serves 4 people
• 3 potato halves per serving
• 10–15 minutes to crisp the potatoes
• 10 minutes after adding the toppings
• The quantities of the Bolognese sauce, cheese, sour cream, and jalapeños are not specified and should be added to taste.
• If you don't own an air fryer, a conventional oven will produce similar results by baking until the potatoes and cheese are golden and crisp.
