Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
