Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
Halve the potatoes lengthways and pop them onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the oil over the potatoes, then lay them cut-side down.
When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf of your oven until tender and a knife slips in easily, 30-40 mins.
TIP: Alternatively, if you have a microwave, you can speed things up. Halve the potatoes lengthways, then prick all over with a knife. Rub with a little oil and season with salt. Place cut-side down onto a plate, then microwave on high until tender, 15-18 mins.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Cut the tomato into 1cm chunks. Grate the Red Leicester cheese.
In a large bowl, combine the tomato, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Once hot, add the beef mince. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Once browned, add the garlic and Central American style spice mix to the mince and fry until fragrant, 1 min more.
Add the passata, beef stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened slightly, 3-4 mins.

When everything's almost ready, add the rocket to the tomato bowl and toss to coat. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy!
Reheat the beef chilli if needed.

When everything's ready, share the potatoes between serving plates.
Top with the beef chilli and cheese.
