  • Sprinkle over the salt, pepper, and paprika and stir gently in the tin to coat all the wedges
  • Cook in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes turning once half way. While the chips are cooking prepare the burgers
  • Burger patties
  • Peel the sweet potato and chop into 3cm cubes. Cook in boinling water for 10 mins then drain and set aside
  • Peel and chop the shallot and add to a mixing bowl. Snip the chives into the bowl then add the cooked sweet potato. Mash with a potato masher until evenly combined.
  • Add 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, the paprika, cumin, marjoram, mustard, allspice and plain flour to the bowl and mix everything together.
  • Spread the panko breadcrumbs onto a large plate.
  • Wet you hands under the tap then take half the burger mixture and shape into a burger. Place in the breadcrumbs then flip over and coat the other side. Do the same for the second burger
  • Split the burger bus in half and add a good amount of vegan may to the bottom half and layer on sliced red onion, tomato, gherkins and salad leaves
  • Heat 3 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and cook the burgers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side
  • Remove the burgers from the pan and drain on kitchen paper for 1 minute before adding to the burger buns.

Notes

  • If you don’t have Panko breadcrumbs you can use regular breadcrumbs Grind 2 slices of bread in a food processor then spread over a baking sheet and cook in the oven at 150c for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to completely cool on the baking sheet before using.
