Cheese Burger with Wedges and Slaw
Print RecipeIngredients
- 450g Potato
- 25g Panko Breadcrumbs
- 30g Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Tomato Sauce
- 240g Beef Mince
- 120g Coleslaw
- 2 Seeded Burger Buns
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Wedges
Cook the Wedges Preheat your oven to 220°C. Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel!) and pop them on a baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt. Toss together, then spread out in a single layer and roast on the top shelf of your oven until golden and cooked through, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.
Step 2: Make the Burgers
Make the Burgers Meanwhile, pop the ketchup and panko breadcrumbs into a mixing bowl, stir together until combined, then add the beef mince. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together with your hands until completely combined, then squeeze and shape into burger patties (one per person) about 2cm thick.
TIP: Make the burgers flatter than you want as they will fatten up and shrink as you cook them.
IMPORTANT: Remember to wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat!
Step 3: Fry the Burgers
Fry the Burgers Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burgers and lower the heat to medium. Cook until browned on the outside and cooked through, turning carefully once or twice. This should take 12-14 mins in total.
IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when they are no longer pink in the middle.
Step 4: Finish the Prep
Finish the Prep Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar. Put the coleslaw mix in a bowl with the mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, mix well to combine. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 5: Finish Off
Finish Off Once the burgers are cooked, distribute the grated Cheddar evenly over the tops of the burgers. Cover your pan with a lid or some foil, remove from the heat and leave to the side to melt the cheese, 5 mins. Meanwhile, halve the burger buns and put them on the middle shelf of your oven to warm for 3-4 mins.
Step 6: Serve the Dish
Serve the Dish Top each bun base with a burger and the bun top. Serve with the wedges and slaw. Enjoy!
