You’ll Need

700g frozen potato wedges
500g beef mince, 1 small onion, finely diced
150g grated cheddar, 100g grated mozzarella
1 tbsp olive oil

Cheeseburger Seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper

To Finish
4 tbsp burger sauce
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
50g sliced pickles
50g crispy onions
2 spring onions, sliced

Optional But Dangerous
Jalapeños
Chipotle mayo
American cheese slices
Extra beef

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

Add the wedges to the basket and cook for 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the beef mince, onion, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to a foil tray.

Air fry the beef mixture at 190°C for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until browned and slightly crispy around the edges.

Continue cooking the wedges until deeply golden and crisp.

Transfer the wedges into a large foil tray or serving dish.

Spoon over the seasoned beef.

Scatter over the cheddar and mozzarella.

Return to the air fryer at 180°C for 3–4 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.

Drizzle over the burger sauce and BBQ sauce.

Finish with sliced pickles, crispy onions, and spring onions.

Add jalapeños, chipotle mayo, or American cheese if using.

Serve immediately while still molten and gloriously messy.

Lad Tip: The pickles aren't optional. They cut through all the cheese, beef, and sauce and stop the whole tray becoming a delicious but very heavy mistake. Trust the pickle.
