Ingredients
- 12 McCain Potato Smiles
- 1 x 350g pack of 12 beef meatballs (5% fat)
- 6 slices streaky bacon
- 3 slices Red Leicester cheese, or similar
To serve
- about 12 cornichons, plus 1 tsp pickle vinegar from the jar
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
Optional extras
- Handful of salad leaves
- Thinly sliced onion
- Sliced tomato
Step by step
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Add the McCain Potato Smiles to the air fryer basket and cook for 8-12 minutes until golden brown and really crisp, shaking halfway through.
- Meanwhile, for each mini burger squash 2 meatballs together and then press flat to about 7cm across, using your thumb to make a slight dip in the top to stop them becoming too rounded.
- Tip the Potato Smiles out to a dish and keep warm. Add the mini burgers to the air fryer and drape the bacon rashers over the burgers. Remove the bacon when it is crisp (after 4-5 minutes) then cook the burgers for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Snip the bacon rashers in half.
- Finely dice 3 of the cornichons and slice the rest in half lengthways. Combine the diced cornichons with the mayonnaise, ketchup and pickle vinegar to make a dipping sauce.
- Cut the cheese slices into 4 squares each then lay 2 squares on top of each burger in the air fryer and cook for about 1 minute until just starting to melt.
- Build your own burger slider using 2 Potato Smiles as the ‘bun’, adding the cheeseburger, crispy bacon and cornichons, tucking in a few salad leaves. sliced onion or tomato if you wish. Serve with the burger dipping sauce.
