Instructions

Mix together the spice mix ingredients (smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, herbs, salt, pepper) in a small bowl and set aside.
Wash and cut the potatoes into chips. Pat them dry, then toss in a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil and half of the spice mix. Coat well.
Arrange chips on a baking tray. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 30–40 mins, or air fry for ~20 mins, until golden and crispy.
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over high heat. Add beef mince, break it apart and brown it. Add the remaining spice mix and cook until darkened and moisture evaporates.
In a small bowl, combine the burger sauce ingredients (mayo, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp smoked paprika). Taste and adjust.
Divide cooked potatoes among bowls. Add shredded lettuce, cooked beef, cheese, and pickles. Drizzle burger sauce over the top and serve.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, ensure they are completely dry after washing.
The burger sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
This recipe is easily scaled for one person—cook a quarter of the ingredients.
