Fresh salad bowls with crispy potatoes, seasoned beef mince and burger toppings drizzled with homemade special sauce.

# Ingredients:

→ Spice Mix

01 - 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
02 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
03 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano or mixed herbs
05 - ½ teaspoon salt
06 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Bowls

07 - 2-3 medium potatoes
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
09 - 500 grams lean beef mince
10 - Lettuce, shredded
11 - Cheese, dairy-free or regular
12 - Pickle slices

→ Burger Sauce

13 - 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
14 - 1 tablespoon ketchup
15 - 1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
16 - 1 teaspoon pickle juice (from the jar of pickles)
17 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
18 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

# Steps:

01 - Mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
02 - Wash and cut the potatoes into chips, then pat them dry with paper towels. Place the chips in a large mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle in half of the spice mix. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
03 - Arrange the coated potatoes on a baking tray and cook them 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.
04 - Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the beef mince, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Once browned, sprinkle in the remaining spice mix and continue cooking until the meat is darkened and any excess moisture has evaporated.
05 - In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
06 - Divide the cooked potatoes among bowls. Fill each bowl with shredded lettuce, cooked beef mince, cheese, and pickle slices. Drizzle the burger sauce over the top and serve.

# Notes:

01 - For crispier potatoes, ensure they are patted dry before coating.
02 - Adjust the seasoning of the burger sauce to suit your taste.
