Ingredients
· 1 medium portion potato(es), (use 2 potatoes)
· 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 175 g extra-lean beef mince
· 1 small onion(s), red, finely chopped
· 1 clove garlic, crushed
· 2 tablespoon parsley, flat-leaf, finely chopped
· 3 tablespoon dried breadcrumbs
· 1 portion egg white, beaten lightly
· 2 medium burger bun, wholemeal
· 4 small leaf lettuce
· 1 medium tomato(s), sliced
· 20 g half-fat cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions
· Preheat oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas Mark 8. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
· Cut potatoes into wedges; boil, steam or microwave until tender. Place wedges, skin side down, on prepared baking sheet; sprinkle with combined pepper and salt. Bake until lightly browned and crispy, about 30 minutes.
· Combine beef, onion, garlic, parsley, breadcrumbs and egg white in a small bowl; shape into 2 patties.
· Cook patties in a nonstick pan over medium heat, turning once, until browned and cooked through. Top each patty with 1 tablespoon cheese, place on baking sheet and bake in already heated oven until cheese is melted.
Place patties on rolls and top with lettuce and tomato. Serve with potato wedges. |
