COOKING
1. Cut the potatoes into long strips and place in the bowl of cold water for about 20 minutes.
2. Peel the onions and cut into semicircles. Melt 1 tsp clarified butter in a pan. Add the onions to the pan and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir well and leave to caramelize for approx. 20-30 minutes until the onions have turned golden yellow. Stir occasionally.
3. Now pour off the water of the fries. Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut oil over the fries and toss well so that the fries are coated evenly in oil. Then bake the fries in the airfryer or in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-30 minutes until crispy.
4. In the meantime, prepare the burger sauce. First cut the pickles into small pieces and place in a bowl. Peel the garlic clove and add it minced to the pickles. Now add the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt and pepper and mix well. Set aside.
5. Divide the minced beef into 2 portions of 100g (3.5 oz) each and shape into a ball. Set aside.
6. Cut the burger buns in half lengthwise, brush the insides with a little butter and fry briefly in a hot pan until crispy on both sides. Remove the buns from the pan and set aside.
7. Now add the balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to the onions and heat for a further 5-10 minutes on a low heat.
8. Wipe out the pan and heat 1 tsp clarified butter in it.
9. Remove the chips from the airfryer or oven and pour them back into the bowl. Season with salt and Cajun seasoning, toss well and divide between the plates.
10. Now place the meatballs in the hot pan and flatten with a heavy object, fry for 1 minute, turn over, place a slice of cheddar on top, close the lid of the pan and fry for a further minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
11. Spread the sauce evenly over the four halves of the burgers. Then place the meat patty with the cheese on the bottom bun. Spread the caramelized onions on top of the cheese and close the burger with the top of the bun.
