Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss potato wedges in a large roasting tin with 1 tbsp oil and lemon juice. Spread out in a single layer. Bake for 35-45 mins, turning halfway, until golden brown and crisp.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, place the breadcrumbs in a mixing bowl and moisten with 2 tbsp cold water. Add the mince, Parmesan, parsley, garlic and lemon zest. Season, mix well, then shape into 4 large, flat patties.

  • step 3

    Heat remaining oil in a pan and cook the patties for 7 mins on each side, or until they have a golden crust and are cooked through (alternatively, cook on the barbecue). Serve with the wedges and a tomato and rocket salad, if you like

Loved this recipe, but 15 mins prep time is over-optimistic unless you have help in the kitchen. Very tasty and worth the effort if you have the time. Didn't do the salad but served with French beans from the garden.

The first time I made this recipe, I found the lemon zest was over powering as well as the parmesan and it struggled to stay together when fried. I had put in the juice of 1 lemon and the zest of 1 lemon as per the recipe and I believe this is to much, unless the lemon described in the recipe is…
