Bunless Burger with Crispy Potatoes

Let’s be real - some nights just call for a burger and fries. But when you’re focused on fuelling your body with food that feels as good as it tastes, this Bunless Burger with Crispy Potatoes is the perfect fix. It’s got all the juicy, savoury satisfaction of a classic burger, minus the heaviness that usually follows.

This recipe is a go-to in my kitchen when I want to eat clean without giving up on flavour. It’s high in protein and made with real ingredients, no fuss, no fake stuff, just wholesome food that works hard for your body.

I love a simple cheeseburger, but feel free to dress this up to your tastes.

• Add cheese or a fried egg for extra richness

• Swap the beef patty for a plant-based or chicken version

• Use sweet potato wedges instead of white potatoes

• Layer with grilled onions, pickles, or your favourite burger sauce

By using extra lean mince and Spud Lite potatoes, you can significantly lower the overall calorie content of this meal, plus skipping the bun keeps the carbs in check without sacrificing flavour.

And for an extra win? You can use the mighty air fryer to get everything crispy and cooked in no time, making this a fast and wholesome dinner option.

If you're anything like me, you're juggling work, motherhood, life, and everything in between. Meals like this are a lifesaver - quick to prep, crowd-pleasing, and packed with goodness.

So next time you’re tempted to dial in dinner, try this instead. It’s a reminder that you don’t need to compromise to eat well - you just need a few fresh ingredients and the right mindset.
