1 Heat the air-fryer or oven to 220C/200C/gas 7. Put the potatoes in the air-fryer or oven, drizzle over 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil, 1 tbsp of the Cajun spice mix, the garlic granules (if using) and season. Cook for 20 mins, shaking halfway, or until crisp and cooked through.
2 When the potatoes have about 10 mins to go, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once shimmering, tip the mince into the pan, and use a spatula to break it up. Sprinkle over the remaining 1 tbsp Cajun spice mix and season. Cook for 7-8 mins, or until crisp and cooked through.
3 Divide the potatoes between four bowls, then top with pickles, lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, mince and a little cheese.
4 Mix the ketchup, mayo, mustard and pickle brine in a small bowl, then drizzle over the burger bowls and tuck in.
