Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all ingredients and wash and cut the medium potatoes into chip shapes.
- In a small bowl, combine the spices: smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Pat the cut potatoes dry using paper towels.
- Place the dried chips into a large mixing bowl, drizzle olive oil over them, and sprinkle with half of the spice mix.
Cooking
- Lay the coated potato chips in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 30–40 minutes or air fry for about 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over high heat and add the beef mince, breaking it apart while cooking until nicely browned.
- After the meat has browned, sprinkle in the remaining spice mix and continue cooking until well-seasoned.
Sauce Preparation
- In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until blended.
Assembly
- Assemble the bowls by dividing the crispy potatoes among them.
- Add lettuce and spoon the seasoned beef mince atop the lettuce.
- Sprinkle with cheese and finish off with pickle slices and drizzle with the burger sauce.
Notes
Store leftovers in airtight containers. Keep components separate to maintain freshness. Best consumed within 1-2 days for potatoes, 3-4 days for cooked beef. Reheat using appropriate methods for best texture.
