Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2–3 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 500 grams lean beef mince
- Lettuce (shredded)
- Cheese (dairy-free or regular)
- Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice (from the jar of pickles)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Make the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine all spice mix ingredients and set aside.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into chips, then pat them dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle in half of the spice mix. Toss well to ensure chips are coated.
- Cook the Potatoes: Arrange the chips on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30–40 minutes or air fry for about 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Brown the Meat: While the potatoes cook, heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the beef mince, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Once browned, add the remaining spice mix and cook until the meat darkens and excess moisture evaporates.
- Mix the Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all burger sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Assemble the Bowls: Once the potatoes are ready, divide them among your bowls. Fill the rest with shredded lettuce, adding the cooked beef mince, cheese, and pickles. Drizzle the burger sauce on top and serve.
