Ingredients
- 8 small potatoes, each about 125g
- 1 x 250g pack minced beef
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3-4 cornichons, diced, plus 4 sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp American or Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp tomato relish
- 6 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 cheese slices
- 2 tbsp tomato ketchup or relish
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Prick the potatoes all over, place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 45-50 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile, tip the mince and most of the onion into a large frying pan (keep a little onion for garnish). Cook on a high heat, stirring to break up the mince until all traces of pink are gone, then continue to fry, stirring less often, until well browned.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the diced cornichons, mustard, relish and 3 tablespoons of mayo; season to taste.
- Halve the potatoes and return to the tray. Spoon the burger mince on top of each potato half and bake for 10 minutes. Cut the cheese slices into quarters and drape over the mince. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until starting to melt. Meanwhile, mix the ketchup and the rest of the mayo together with 1⁄2 tablespoon of vinegar from the jar of cornichons, for the sauce.
- To serve, scatter the cheeseburger jackets with the reserved onion and sliced cornichons. Drizzle with the sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
