Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat.
Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, pick the mint leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).
In a large bowl, combine half the mint with the breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the lamb mince. Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.
Roll the mince into even-sized balls, then shape into 1cm thick burgers (1 per person). TIP: The burgers will shrink a little during cooking. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Pop the burgers onto a baking tray and bake on the middle shelf until cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
While the burgers cook, halve the tomatoes. Trim the cucumber, then halve lengthways. Cut lengthways into roughly 1cm wide strips, then cut into 1cm pieces widthways. Add both to a bowl.
Halve the red chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop.
Add the chilli (careful, it's hot - add less if you'd prefer things milder), red wine vinegar, olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount) and remaining mint to the tomatoes.
Season with salt and pepper, then mix together and set aside.
Halve the burger buns. Grate the Cheddar cheese.
When the burgers are almost ready, pop the burger buns into the oven to warm through, 3-4 mins.
Once the burgers are cooked, carefully place the cheese on top of the burgers and pop back into the oven until the cheese has melted, 2-3 mins.
When everything's ready, spread the mayo (see pantry for amount) over the bun lids.
Lay a cheesy lamb burger on top of each bun base, then sandwich shut with the bun lids.
Serve with the wedges and chimichurri tomato and cucumber salad alongside.
Enjoy!
