Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then into 1cm chips (peeling optional).
- Pop onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, cook on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
- Once cooked, toss together with the cheese.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, 2 tsp water and ¼ tsp salt (double both for 4p).
- Add the beef mince, season with pepper and mix everything together by hand.
- Roll into evenly-sized balls, then form into 1cm thick burgers, one per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the burgers until browned on the outside and cooked through, 10-12 mins.
- Turn every 2-3 mins, adjusting heat as needed. IMPORTANT: Beef is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Once cooked, transfer from pan. Cover to keep warm.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry bacon until crispy and brown, 3-4 mins each side. Remove from the pan once cooked.
- Return the empty pan to high heat, adding the creme fraiche and stock.
- Cook until thickened, stirring occasionally, 2-3 mins.
- Remove from the heat and stir through the truffle oil.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Loosen with a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
- Chop the tomatoes into 2cm chunks.
- Toss the chopped tomato together in a bowl with the salad leaves, a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pop the buns into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!
- To assemble the burgers, top each base bun with the beef burger, some bacon strips and a spoonful of truffle sauce.
- Close with the top bun.
- Serve the cheesy chips and salad alongside.
