Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Put the sweet potato wedges into a large mixing bowl with 2 tsp of the paprika, 2 tbsp olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then mix until well coated. Spread the wedges out in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 35-40 minutes until crisp on the outside, turning halfway. Once cooked, sprinkle another teaspoon of paprika over the wedges and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Mix the mince, grated onion, garlic, oregano, egg and some salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Divide the mix into 4 patties, put on a plate, cover with cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
  3. After 20 minutes, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large deep frying pan with a lid. Fry the burgers over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side, then add a splash of water, put on the lid and cook for 5 minutes more (see tip). Serve the burgers, topped with tomato slices and rings of onion, in buns with your favourite sauce and salad alongside the potato wedges.
