Cooking Potatoes
- 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.
Cooking Beef
- While the potatoes are cooking, 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, sprinkle in the remaining spice mix and continue cooking until the meat is darkened and any excess moisture has evaporated.
Making Burger Sauce

Assembly

- 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.
Notes
Cut the potatoes evenly for uniform cooking. Don’t overcrowd the baking tray to achieve maximum crispiness. Let the cooked beef rest briefly before serving to let the flavors meld. Feel free to switch up toppings based on what your family enjoys.
