There are few things more delicious than a perfectly juicy homemade burger. Especially when they’re on the table in 30 minutes flat. Served alongside chunky potato wedges and a chimichurri tomato salad for a kick of heat, it’s hard to go wrong with this super simple recipe. To avoid a saucer-shaped patty, make a slight indentation with your thumb in the centre of your raw patty. This helps the meat cook evenly, maintaining its shape as it shrinks during cooking.

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, finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a large bowl, combine the garlic, mixed herbs and half the parsley. Mix in the breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the beef mince.
Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.
Roll 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 and streaky bacon rashers onto a baking tray (use another tray if necessary) and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Cook bacon thoroughly.
Once cooked, set the bacon aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and pop them into a bowl.
Add the remaining parsley along with the red wine vinegar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper and mix together.
Just before the wedges are cooked, halve the burger buns. Pop them onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
When everything's ready, spread the mayo (see pantry for amount) over the bun bases. Top the bases with the herby burgers and crispy bacon rashers, then sandwich shut with the bun lids.
Serve with the potato wedges and parsley tomato salad alongside.
Enjoy!
Step 4 MOD: If you've chosen to add bacon rashers, pop in a single layer alongside the burgers (use two trays if necessary). Cook for the same amount of time until crispy, 12-15 mins. Once the bacon is cooked, set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper before serving. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
