We make potato nachos AKA delicious loaded smashed potatoes three different ways
Annabel Bower is an Australian chef and food stylist that lives in Adelaide. Today, Annabel is cooking 'loaded smashed potatoes'. You boil the potatoes, then smash and bake them and load them with a range of toppings Annabel will demo three different flavours: Mexican, avocado and sour cream; Bacon, cheese and caramelised onion; Basil pesto, bocconcini caprese salad. Loaded Smashed Potatoes Loaded Mexican Smashed Potatoes 1kg baby potatoes Olive oil Sea salt Mexican Toppings 2 avocados (or 300gms store bought guacamole) 1 lime ¼ cup Jalapeno slices 1 cup Sour Cream ½ bunch of Coriander, leaves and stems chopped + extra for garnish 200gm Cherry tomatoes, diced 1 shallot finely diced 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar Manchego Cheese 50gms Paprika Method Steam potatoes in a double boiler on the stove top or in a steam oven at 100 percent steam for 25-30 minutes. Pat off any moisture from the potatoes with paper towel. Line an oven tray with baking paper and drizzle with olive oil. Place potatoes on the tray spaced out evenly. Using a chunky glass, smash down the potato until it is flattened halfway. Use a fork to create more fluffed up bits if you like – more fluff = more crunch! Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast at 230 degrees fan forced for 30 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the toppings. For the guacamole, smash together the avocado and lime juice with a pinch of salt. For the salsa combine the diced tomato, diced shallot, half of the coriander (chopped), red wine vinegar and a splash of olive oil. To assemble, spread ½ a cup of sour cream over the base of a serving platter, sprinkle with paprika. Top with one layer of potato followed by generous dollops of guacamole, salsa, and some jalapenos. Repeat on a second layer with the remaining potatoes, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. Sprinkle with jalapenos, paprika, sprigs of coriander and freshly shaved Manchego cheese and an extra sprinkle of paprika. Serve hot or at room temperature. Loaded Caprese Smashed Potatoes 1kg baby potatoes Olive oil Sea salt Caprese toppings 240 grams bocconcini 100gms basil pesto homemade or a good quality bought pesto like Maggie Beer's 1 bunch of fresh basil 250gms Truss tomatoes 8 slices of thinly sliced prosciutto (optional) Balsamic Vinegar to drizzle A good quality Australian olive oil to finish – I love Longtrail Farm's Olive Oil Method Steam potatoes in a double boiler on the stove top or in a steam oven at 100 percent steam for 25-30 minutes. Pat off any moisture from the potatoes with paper towel. Line an oven tray with baking paper and drizzle with olive oil. Place potatoes on the tray spaced out evenly. Using a chunky glass, smash down the potato until it is flattened halfway. Use a fork to create more fluffed up bits if you like – more fluff = more crunch! Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast at 230 degrees fan forced for 30 minutes. On a separate tray place the truss of cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 15-20 minutes of the begin to burst slightly. To assemble spread 1/3 of the pesto on the base of your serving plate. Top with a layer of potatoes followed by ½ of the bocconcini. I like to tear it apart and scatter it evenly. Next add some dollops of pesto, some of the roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Top with the next later of potatoes and repeat loading with bocconcini, pesto, and basil leaves. Place the remaining cherry tomatoes, roasted on the truss on the top of the finished pile. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and some good quality olive oil. Loaded Cheese, Bacon Smashed Potatoes 1kg baby potatoes Olive oil Sea salt Cheese and bacon topping 200grams shortcut bacon, diced 200 grams grated cheese (tasty, Colby, mozzarella, parmesan) ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional) Fresh chives and or BBQ sauce Method Steam potatoes in a double boiler on the stove top or in a steam oven at 100 percent steam for 25-30 minutes. Pat off any moisture from the potatoes with paper towel. Line an oven tray with baking paper and drizzle with olive oil. Place potatoes on the tray spaced out evenly. Using a chunky glass, smash down the potato until it is flattened halfway. Use a fork to create more fluffed up bits if you like – more fluff = more crunch! Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast at 230 degrees fan forced for 30 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the toppings. Over medium heat fry off the bacon until golden and crisp. Set aside on paper towel to drain any fat. When the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove from oven, leaving them on the tray. Sprinkle ½ of the cheese evenly over the top of each potato then sprinkle with the garlic powder if using. Top with bacon followed by the remaining cheese. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve on a board topped with freshly cut chives and or a drizzle of your favourite BBQ sauce. Perfect snacks to enjoy during the footy finals!

From her bedroom floor to nationwide radio: teen wins Triple J's Unearthed award
Move over Jessica Mauboy, a regional-based singer, Kyla Belle Roberts is Triple J's Unearthed indigenous initiative winner. The Year 11 student at Moree Secondary College in Moree, NSW, won the national award with her song, Myself. "I wrote the song sitting on the floor of my bedroom," Kyla, 16, said. "It's about being a teenager and not knowing what you want to do, whatever happens, happens." Unearthed winners for 2025 were announced on Thursday, August 14. "Unearthed is a great opportunity for high school students to get their music out there and for young people to be noticed," Kyla said. Kyla was one of five winners from 1300 uploads, fending off competition from as far afield as Perth and Sydney. As part of her prize, Kyla will have her next track mixed and mastered by industry heavyweight Konstantin Kersting. Born and bred in Moree, Kyla was born for the stage. Parents Donna Faulkner and Shane Roberts, also raised in Moree, played in a band and were always spinning the discs at home. While the household often resonated to the beat of AC/DC, Kyla's songs are more country, having been influenced by the sounds of alternative rap and pop music. "Dad bought me my first guitar when I was 13, and he upgraded it to a Nashville one this year," Kyla said. Kyla's older sister, Rochelle, and younger brother, Jay, are also musical. "My sister is an amazing guitarist, she's really talented and studying at university now," Kyla said. Teachers and students have been supportive of Kyla's musical talent. Principal Bethany Kelly has worked at the college since 2011. "We have not had anybody of Kyla's talent in my time, nothing of this calibre, so it's very exciting," Ms Kelly said. Kyla also noted the support of her teachers, especially music teacher Leigh Carroll. It was Mr Carroll who backed Kyla into entering this year's Schools Spectacular, held in November at Sydney's Olympic Park. Mauboy's song, Sea of Flags, was performed at the annual cultural event in 2014, and Kyla hopes to walk in Mauboy's footsteps. "I was a bit nervous at first, entering into the School Spec, it's such a big organisation with great musicians," Kyla said. She is already tuning her guitar and warming up her vocal chords for the event. As Ms Kelly said, "If Kyla can handle all this at 16, I can't imagine what she'll be like in 10 years' time, watch this space."

What does Snoop Dogg's Grand Final invitation say about the AFL's commitment to preventing violence against women? - ABC Religion & Ethics
The AFL Grand Final is one of those sporting events that reaches deep into the cultural psyche of this country. The last Saturday in September is marked by friends and families getting together around the television or, for those able to get a ticket, cramming into the MCG to watch the game together. The pre-game entertainment garners almost as much attention as the final game. And this year is no different. When the AFL announced last week that Snoop Dogg would be the pre-game artist, many of us involved in preventing and responding to men's violence against women and children were aghast and somewhat mystified. His lyrics are explicit in their misogyny and celebration of violence against women. While he has been called out for them by heavyweights of the music business and has described himself as reformed, he still often features these songs in his set lists. The decision from the AFL has prompted Victorian organisations addressing violence, including our own Respect Victoria, to put out a joint statement last Friday questioning this decision and calling for the AFL to rethink it. It's a deeply unsettling decision and has been made at a time when Victorians are mourning five women who have been allegedly killed by men they know in the last four weeks alone. Yes, this is the fatal tip of a national crisis of men's violence that continues to have devastating consequences across the whole Australian community. We also know that the Grand Final is a time when calls to crisis support services and police spike because of increased instances of family violence. In Victoria, police data shows that family violence incidents consistently rise on Grand Final day and the day after, with some services reporting up to 30 per cent increase in demand. This is a predictable and preventable pattern — and one that makes the decision to platform an artist with a history of glorifying violence against women all the more alarming. A general view of the 2024 AFL Grand Final match between the Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Lions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 28 September 2024 in Melbourne. (Photo by Adam Trafford / AFL Photos via Getty Images) Over the last week, questions surrounding Snoop Dogg's selection by the AFL have sparked conversations about whether we should sanction an artist that has been called out for his misogyny by the likes of Dionne Warwick and Pharrell Williams, and who fans say has changed his ways. The question being asked online and in the media is: should we give Snoop Dogg a second chance? To us the answer is simple: he continues to profit off a catalogue of songs that espouse violence — especially sexual violence against women. He still performs these songs and they are still highly popular and influential. So, it's not a question of giving him a second chance. The question is: should we give him arguably the biggest platform in the Australian sporting calendar when we are in the midst of a national emergency of domestic, family and sexual violence? The answer is abundantly clear: No, we should not . With so many talented Australian artists who champion respect and equality, this should be an opportunity to showcase performers whose values align with the AFL's stated commitment to ending violence against women. Platforming a performer with a public history of boasting about violence against women directly undermines the AFL's own commendable work in recent years to support violence prevention initiatives.

Cox / Getty Images) Sport has enormous power to influence culture. By elevating an artist with a track record of degrading women, the AFL risks sending the message that misogyny is entertainment. The Grand Final regularly attracts a crowd of over 100,000 people at the MCG, and a television audience of millions — that's why the artists we choose for this event matters. When questioned on the choice of entertainment earlier this week, AFL CEO Andrew Dillon described Snoop Dogg as culturally relevant after performing at the Paris Olympics and the Super Bowl. Culturally relevant to whom? In the midst of a national crisis of violence against women, relevance should be measured by the values we want to model for young men and boys, not by global fame built on a history of degrading women and disrespect. For the AFL, this decision damages its credibility. It was only last year that Andrew Dillon declared that 'the only acceptable figure' for violence against women is zero, and that the AFL was committed to doing more to end it. Those words ring hollow when the league's actions point in the opposite direction. The AFL has an opportunity to align its entertainment choices with the culture it claims to champion — this decision misses that mark. It undermines the credibility of the AFL's own public commitments to preventing violence against women. The AFL's decision to platform Snoop Dogg is a grave mistake and should be urgently reconsidered. Actions speak louder than words. It is time for the AFL's actions to match its rhetoric on championing equality and respect.
