Main Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise for creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup the quintessential burger condiment

Method
 

Mix the Spice Blend
  1. Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Prepare the Potatoes
  1. Wash and cut the potatoes into thick chips, pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Place the chips in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle in half of the prepared spice mix. Toss well.
Bake or Air Fry the Chips
  1. Arrange the seasoned potato chips on a baking tray in a single layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30–40 minutes or air fry for about 20 minutes.
Cook the Beef
  1. Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the lean beef mince and cook until browned and crumbly.
  2. Sprinkle in the remaining spice mix and continue cooking until the meat is darker.
Make the Burger Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix and adjust seasoning.
Assemble Your Burger Bowls
  1. Divide the potato chips among serving bowls and fill the other half with shredded lettuce.
  2. Top with cooked beef mince, cheese, pickle slices, and drizzle with burger sauce.

Notes

For extra crispy chips, soak potato slices in water for about 30 minutes before drying and seasoning. Experiment with toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, or jalapeños to customize each bowl.
