Air-Fryer Gourmet Beef Burgers with Potato Wedges
These air-fryer gourmet beef burgers keep things simple while still delivering proper flavour and texture. The patties are made with seasoned beef mince, onion, garlic and Worcestershire sauce, then cooked until browned and juicy with minimal fuss. The wedges cook alongside in the same appliance, so you get a full burger-and-chips style meal with less oil and less mess than deep frying.
Serve with toasted buns, lettuce, tomato and optional melted cheddar.
Method
20m25m45m
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Toss the potato wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the salt, half the pepper and a pinch of smoked paprika.
- Cook the wedges for 18 to 22 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crisp at the edges.
- While the wedges cook, combine beef mince, onion, garlic, remaining smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, remaining salt and pepper in a bowl.
- Mix just until combined, then shape into 4 equal burger patties. Brush both sides lightly with the remaining olive oil.
- Place patties in the air-fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until cooked through.
- If using cheese, top each patty for the final 1 minute so it melts.
- Toast the burger buns briefly in the air fryer, then assemble with lettuce, tomato and the hot patties.
- Serve immediately with the seasoned potato wedges.
