Burger and chips

Saturday night is our fish and chips night, but with the cold weather i haven't been out fishing much lately. So dare i say, we shifted from tradition and had burgers and chips!

When i say chips i don't mean your normal minimum of your greasy best, and when i say burgers i don't mean your quarter meat and 3 quarter additives. These are dutch cream potato chips and 100% all premium mince beef patties. i reckon this is quicker and lots cheaper than nipping down to your local take away.

Preheat the oven to about 200 degrees (we have a gas oven, with no thermostat, just one setting - flat out!) Wash the potatoes. cut into chips (About 10mmx10mm) Place in a single layer on a baking tray, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place in the oven. To about 500g of premium mince add an egg, about a cup of oats, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano (i prefer dried over fresh for this) and parsley. Fry in a little butter on both sides until brown and place in the oven. The chips take about half to three quarters of an hour. Just before serving place a slice of cheese over the burger... Mmmmmm Serve with peas and corn.. All up cost - approx $12..
