SERVES 4

Ingredients-

  • 8 medium potatoes (bigger appetites 10 potatoes)

  • 4 spring onions

  • 2 red peppers, bell or pointed

  • 200g cheddar

  • 400g lean mince beef

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tbsp mayo

  • 1 tbsp ketchup

  • 1 tsp mustard

  • 1/4 onion, fine diced

  • 8 sliced jalapeño

Instructions-

  1. Dice the potatoes into cubes and parboil them in salted water until they are fork-tender. Drain and set them aside to steam fry.

  2. In a hot pan with a bit of oil, add the lean mince beef, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mash the mince with a potato masher until it's fine. Allow it to fry without burning, adding more oil if necessary. You can cook the mince to your desired level of crispiness and caramelization.

  3. Add the finely chopped red peppers and cook for around 3 minutes, then set them aside.

  4. Prepare the sauce by mixing mayo, ketchup, and mustard. If you have gherkins in the fridge, finely dice and add them to the sauce.

  5. In another hot pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the parboiled potatoes to the pan and fry them until they start to brown. Then, add the finely diced spring onions and fry for a little longer.

  6. Transfer the cooked mince and potatoes to an ovenproof dish. You can layer them with grated cheese or arrange them in any way you like.

  7. Finish with a little more grated cheese and bake at 200°C for around 20 minutes to crisp up the potatoes.

  8. Once out of the oven, serve the Big Mac Potato Hash with the burger sauce on the side.

  9. Top Tip: Serve it in the middle of the table with finely shredded iceberg lettuce or little gem lettuce and buttered bread to make sandwiches.

Enjoy your Big Mac Potato Hash!
