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
- Mix together the spice mix ingredients in a small bowl: smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and set aside.
- Wash and cut the potatoes into chips, then pat them dry with paper towels.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and half of the spice mix to the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to ensure the potatoes are thoroughly coated.
- Arrange the potatoes on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30-40 minutes or in the air fryer for about 20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the beef mince, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, sprinkle in the remaining spice mix, and continue cooking until the meat is darkened and any excess moisture has evaporated.
- Combine the burger sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Divide the cooked potatoes among your bowls. Fill the remaining space in each bowl with shredded lettuce, then add the cooked beef mince, cheese, and pickles. Drizzle the burger sauce over the top and serve.
