Burger Bowls

Enjoy the classic flavors of a burger without the bun in these customizable and easy-to-make burger bowls, featuring crispy potatoes and seasoned beef.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 2–3 medium potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 500 grams lean beef mince
  • 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. Mix together the spice mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Wash and cut the potatoes into chips, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Place the chips in a large mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle in half of the spice mix. Mix well.
  4. Arrange the potatoes on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 30–40 minutes, or in the air fryer for about 20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  5. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the beef mince, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned.
  6. Sprinkle in the remaining spice mix and continue cooking until the meat is darkened and excess moisture has evaporated.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the burger sauce ingredients and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Once the potatoes are ready, divide them among bowls. Fill with shredded lettuce, cooked beef mince, cheese, and pickles. Drizzle burger sauce over the top and serve.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak the potato chips in water for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust spices according to taste.
