Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the baby plum tomatoes. Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
In a medium bowl, combine half the red wine vinegar with the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper, then stir through the tomatoes and set aside.
Pop the chips 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 the chips on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins.
Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar cheese.
In a large bowl, combine the garlic, 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.
Roll the mince 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 onto another baking tray.
Halfway through cooking, turn the chips.
At the same time, add the burgers to the middle shelf to bake until cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Pop into a small bowl with the remaining red wine vinegar and the olive oil for the chimichurri (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, mix together, then set your chimichurri aside.
Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Once hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins, then remove from the heat. Stir the red pepper chilli jelly until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
When the burgers have 5 mins left, sprinkle over the Cheddar cheese. At the same time, sprinkle the hard Italian style cheese over the chips and toss to coat, then return both to the oven for the remaining time.
Meanwhile, halve the burger buns, then add to the tray for the last 2-3 mins to warm through.
When everything's ready, spread the chorizo jam over the bun bases, then top with the burgers. Drizzle over the chimichurri, then sandwich shut with the bun lids.
Add the corn to your tomatoes and dressing, then serve with the chips alongside your craft burgers.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The chorizo chilli jam was a highlight for many, adding texture and depth to the burger. Some found the chimichurri and chorizo combination not to their taste, and one reviewer felt the jam lacked flavour.
- Ease of prep: Most found this straightforward to cook, though a few noted the side dishes involve more prep steps than expected.
- Suggestions: Reduce the garlic in the burger mix if you prefer a milder flavour; consider adding a pickle or relish for extra balance. Using sliced rather than diced chorizo may help it stay in the burger more easily.
- Next-day meals: The sweetcorn salsa divides opinion — if you find the red wine vinegar too sharp, reduce the amount slightly to balance the dressing.
