Ingredients

• 500g Potatoes
• 2l Vegetable oil
• Salt
• 500g Beef mince
• 4 Shallots
• 1 tsp English mustard
• 1 Egg yolk
• 25g Breadcrumbs
• 4 rashers Smoked streaky bacon
• 4 Sesame-seed buns
• 2 tbsp Tomato ketchup
• 8 slices Red Leicester cheese
• 1 large handful Lamb's lettuce
• 2 Gherkins
• 2 Vine tomatoes

Method

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan to 150C.
2. Add the potatoes and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Drain and dry on kitchen paper.
3. Increase the oil temperature to 180C and re-fry the chips for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden.
4. Meanwhile, mix together the beef mince, shallots, English mustard, egg yolk, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
5. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each one into a burger. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6. Heat a griddle pan over medium heat and brush with oil. Cook the burgers for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
7. While the burgers are cooking, toast the buns on the griddle pan by placing them cut-side down for a minute.
8. Assemble the burgers by spreading ketchup on the bottom bun, followed by a burger patty, some bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and finally the top bun.
9. Serve the burgers with the triple-cooked chips and coleslaw, if desired.
