Ingredients

Scale

Spice Mix

  • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Potato Chips

  • 2–3 medium potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)

Beef Mince

  • 500 grams lean beef mince/ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking beef)
  • Remaining half of the prepared spice mix

Toppings & Sauce

  • Lettuce (shredded)
  • Cheese (dairy-free or regular)
  • Pickle slices
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon mustard (dijon or yellow)
  • 1 teaspoon pickle juice (from the jar of pickles)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Set this seasoning blend aside for later use.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut 2-3 medium potatoes into chip shapes. Pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels to ensure crispiness. Place the cut potatoes into a large mixing bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with half of the prepared spice mix. Toss everything together until the potato chips are evenly coated with oil and spices.
  3. Cook the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potato chips evenly on a baking tray. Bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30 to 40 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can air fry them for around 20 minutes to achieve the same crispiness.
  4. Cook the Beef Mince: While the potatoes are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, then sprinkle in the remaining half of the spice mix. Continue cooking until the beef is deeply colored and all moisture has evaporated, ensuring rich flavor and texture.
  5. Make the Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir well and adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
  6. Assemble the Burger Bowls: Once the potatoes are cooked, divide them evenly among serving bowls. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, then top with the cooked spiced beef mince. Add cheese and pickle slices on top, and finish by drizzling the prepared burger sauce over everything. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • To make the dish dairy-free, use dairy-free cheese alternatives.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based mince for variations.
  • Adjust seasoning in the burger sauce to preference by altering mustard or pickle juice quantities.
  • For extra crispiness, soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes prior to drying and seasoning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator up to 2 days but are best enjoyed fresh.
