Ingredients
  

  • 115 g ground beef
  • 1 russet potato sliced into fries
  • 5-6 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1-2 iceberg lettuce chopped
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mixed herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1 red onion
  • ¼ cup pickled cucumbers
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a pan and add the ground beef, onion and garlic powder, half of the paprika and mixed herb seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • Sauté for a few minutes on medium heat until the beef starts browning. Remove and set aside.
  • Peel and slice the Russet potato into fries, and pat them dry with kitchen towels to remove all moisture.
  • Transfer them to a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, paprika and mixed herb seasoning and a bit of oil.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer at 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, yellow mustard and pickle juice. This will be the burger sauce.
  • Arrange the seasoned fries in a lined Air Fryer basket and air fry for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Start building the cheeseburger bowl with the seasoned fries, ground beef, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce and pickles. Spoon the burger sauce over the top and finish up with the shredded cheese.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for the best results. You can also swap it with ground chicken or turkey for a different variation.
  • Break up the ground beef with a spatula while cooking so it browns evenly. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  • Cut the Russet potato into evenly sized fries and pat them thoroughly dry before seasoning to help them turn crispy in the air fryer.
  • Arrange the fries in a single layer without overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary and shake the basket halfway through for even browning.
  • Use frozen French fries instead of fresh potatoes to save time. Cook them according to the package instructions before assembling the bowl.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the burger sauce depending on your spice preference, or leave it out for a milder version.
  • Add sliced jalapeños, avocado, caramelized onions, or extra pickles to customize your cheeseburger bowl.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the warm ground beef if you prefer it slightly melted.
  • Prepare the burger sauce and chop the vegetables ahead of time, but assemble the bowl just before serving to keep the fries crispy and the lettuce fresh.
  • Store leftover beef and fries separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Reheat the beef until thoroughly hot and crisp up the fries in the air fryer before serving.
