Heat the oven to 220°C, toss the potato wedges with half the olive oil and a pinch of salt, then roast for 30–35 minutes, turning once, until golden and tender.
Mix the beef mince with the garlic, onion, salt and black pepper. Shape it into two loose patties, keeping the surface smooth without compacting the meat.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through, then rest for 2 minutes.
Toast the cut sides of the buns in the pan. Fill with lettuce, tomato and a rested burger patty, then serve with the hot potato wedges.
Notes
For the juiciest burgers, handle the mince lightly and rest the cooked patties briefly before serving.
