Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7, or heat an air fryer to 200°C.

  2. Step 2

    Toss the potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread out on a lined baking tray and roast for 30 mins, turning halfway through, until crisp and golden. Alternatively, cook in the air fryer for 25 mins, shaking occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    While the potatoes roast, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add a little oil and cook the beef mince for 7–10 mins, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Transfer to a bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Add another drizzle of oil to the pan, then add the onion and peppers. Cook for 5–7 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more.

  5. Step 5

    Return the beef to the pan and add the smoked paprika, chopped tomatoes and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until rich and thickened.

  6. Step 6

    Stir through the sherry vinegar, then season to taste.

  7. Step 7

    Divide the crispy potatoes between 4 bowls and spoon over the smoky beef sauce. Drizzle generously with the roasted garlic aioli, scatter over the parsley and finish with a pinch of smoked paprika to serve.
