Cheeseburger Brioche Sliders, with Sweet Potato Fries & Seriously Good Garlic Aioli

Make Fries:

Preheat oven to 200°C. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1 cm thick fries. Arrange in a single layer and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes in oven, until tender. Tip: Leave oven on to toast slider buns.

Prepare Ingredients:

Peel and mince garlic. Thinly slice pickle. Peel red onion and slice as thinly as possible. Cut sliced cheese into quarters. Set aside.

Prepare Beef Patties:

Pat dry beef mince with paper towel and add to a bowl or plate. Add minced garlic and season with pepper and a ¼ teaspoon of salt. Mix by hand to combine. Form evenly into 6 beef patties about ½-1 cm larger than the slider bun. Use a spatula to flatten evenly then create a dimple in the centre of each. Lightly drizzle with olive oil.

Cook Sliders:

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add patties and cook until browned on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes. Flip patties over, top with sliced cheese. Cook until patties are browned on outside, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Note: If you prefer to cook the red onion, lightly cook it now.

Toast Slider Buns:

Cut the slider buns then arrange, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking tray. Toast in the oven 2½ minutes, or until the edges are golden Tip: be careful not to burn as they will toast quickly. Transfer to a clean, dry work surface.

You Plate It:

Add as much ketchup as desired to each bun and top with the beef patties. Add sliced pickles and red onion using as much as desired. Top with the bun. Divide assembled sliders evenly between plates and serve alongside sweet potato fries, and seriously good garlic aioli. Enjoy!
