Method

step 1
Rub the potatoes with oil and season with salt, then air-fry at 180C for 45 mins-1 hr until cooked through, turning halfway.
step 2
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a low-medium heat and cook the onion and celery for 10 mins, stirring until softened but not coloured. Add the cumin and chilli flakes and cook for a minute more, then add the peppers and fry for 5-7 mins until they have started to soften.
step 3
Add the garlic and smoked paprika, turn up the heat and fry for a minute or so, then add in the beans, tomatoes and half a can of water, then season well and stir. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 mins until rich and thickened slightly.
step 4
For the topping, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and season to taste. Split the jacket potatoes, then top with a little butter and season with salt and pepper. Spoon over the chilli and some of the yogurt mixture and cheese, if using, to serve.
