Ingredients
4 tsp Carla’s Ultimate Burger Seasoning
1 pack Carla’s Potato Seasoning
800g Maris Piper potatoes
2 Red onions
2 salad tomatoes
1 lettuce
500g beef mince
80g breadcrumbs
4 brioche burger buns
40g grated cheese
150g mayonnaise
Olive oil
Seasoning
2 tbsp tomato ketchup (plus extra to serve)
2 tsp mustard (plus extra to serve)
1 egg
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C/392°F/Gas 6 and line 2 oven trays with baking paper
Cut potatoes into 1cm chips or wedges. Thinly slice 1 onion, and finely chop the other. Set aside the finely chopped portion to mix in with the mince
Thinly slice tomato and lettuce and set aside
Toss chips with a little oil in a mixing bowl, then season with Carla’s Potato Seasoning, and stir until nicely coated. Then place onto the prepared baking tray and roast for about 30 minutes, until golden and tender. Turn once during cooking
Meanwhile, combine the mince with the finely chopped onion, Carla’s Ultimate Burger Seasoning, breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp tomato ketchup, 2 tsp mustard and the egg. Then shape the mixture into 4 burgers
Heat a little oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Cook burgers for about 2 minutes each side, until browned (they do not need to be cooked through yet). Transfer to second prepared tray and keep pan on heat
Add a little more oil to the frying pan. Cook the sliced portion of the onion for about 3 minutes, until golden. While the onion cooks, slice the buns in half and place, closed, onto the oven tray with the burgers. Top the burgers with the cooked onion and grated cheese and cook in the oven for about 4 minutes until buns are warm and lightly toasted, and the burgers are cooked through
Remove buns from tray and turn oven grill to high. Grill burgers for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden
Spread the bottom burger bun with tomato ketchup and mustard and the top bun with the mayonnaise. Fill the buns with the cheesy burgers and top with tomato slices and lettuce. Serve with the chips on the side
