Truffle Mayo & Bacon Burger With Sweet Potato Fries

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6

Remove 15g [25g] [30g] butter from the fridge and set aside to soften slightly

Peel and cut your sweet potato[es] into fries

Add the sweet potato fries to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!)

Add a drizzle of vegetable oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and your ground smoked paprika and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until cooked through and golden – these are your smoky sweet potato fries

Meanwhile, combine your mayo, truffle oil, white wine vinegar and a generous grind of black pepper – this is your truffle & black pepper mayo

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic, then add it to a separate bowl with your dried oregano and softened butter and give everything a good mix up – this is your garlic & herb butter

Grate your cheddar cheese

Season your beef mince with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, massage the meat with clean hands for 1 min (this helps to hold the shape whilst cooking)

Shape the mince into 1 patty per person

Meanwhile, add your smoked streaky bacon to a separate baking paper-lined baking tray

Put the tray in the oven for 12-15 min or until golden and crispy

Once the fries have been in for 15-20 min, heat a large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) over a high heat

Once hot, add the beef patty[ies], press down firmly with a spatula and cook for 5 min

Tip: Cooking for 5? You may need to do this in batches!

Flip the patty[ies] and reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 3 min further

While the patty[ies] is cooking, cut your brioche bun[s] in half (if required!) and spread them with the garlic & herb butter

Add to a baking tray (or two!), butter-side up, and put the tray[s] in the oven for 3-4 min or until golden – this is your garlic & herb brioche bun

Once browned, flip the beef patty[ies] and top with the grated cheese

Cover loosely with a lid (or some tin foil!) and cook for 2-3 min further or until the cheese has melted and the patty[ies] is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Meanwhile, wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Remove the leaves and set them aside for serving
