Ingredients
The Base:
- 500g Frozen or freshly cut chips
- 1 tbsp Oil (for cooking the mince)
- 500g Lean beef or chicken mince
- 1 Medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder (or 1 tsp crushed garlic)
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Toppings:
- 200g Ladismith Gouda, grated
- Chopped lettuce
- Gherkins, sliced
- Chopped tomatoes
- Red onion, finely diced
- Mayonnaise or your favourite burger sauce
Method
-
- Cook your frozen or freshly cut chips using your preferred method: in the air fryer, oven, or deep-fried until crisp and golden.
- While the chips are cooking, heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent. Add the mince, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the mince with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Place your cooked, crispy chips into a lined air fryer basket or an oven-safe baking dish. Add the cooked mince over the chips, then sprinkle the grated Ladismith Gouda generously over the top.
- Place it back in the air fryer or under the oven grill for 3–5 minutes, until the Gouda is melted and bubbling.
- Remove from the heat and garnish with your favourite burger toppings, like lettuce, gherkins, chopped tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with mayo or your favourite burger sauce.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
