Classic Cheese Burger with Potato Wedges

Method

1. 1Make wedges

   • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
   • Slice the potatoes (skins on) into wedges.
   • Add the wedges to a large baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil.
   • Toss the wedges in the oil until fully coated.
   • Bake for 30 min or until crisp.
   • Once crisp, season with a generous pinch of salt and the smoked paprika.
   • Bake for 5 min further.

   Tip: If using an air fryer, preheat to 200°C. Air fry the wedges with a drizzle of oil, salt and smoked paprika for 20-25 min until cooked through, tossing halfway through. Cook in batches if necessary.

2. 2Prep

   • Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes.
   • Finely chop the spring onion.

3. 3Make burger sauce

   • In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, spring onion and Dijon mustard with a pinch of salt

4. 4Fry patties

   • Heat a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
   • Fry the patties for 4-6 min on each side until browned and cooked through.
   • Once browned, top with the grated cheddar, cover with a lid and cook for 30 sec further or until the cheese has melted.

   Tip: The crispy onions can be added on top of the melted cheese so they stick!

5. 5Assemble

   • Meanwhile, place the burger buns in the hot oven for 2-3 min or until warmed through.
   • Load the warmed burger buns with a handful of crispy lettuce, the sliced tomatoes, burger patties, crispy onions and burger sauce.
   • Serve the Classic Cheese Burger with a side of Potato Wedges.

   Tip: Use the leftover lettuce for a quick side salad!
