Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan over a medium-low heat and fry the onion for 6-8 mins until soft. Stir in the garlic, cook for 30 secs, then tip into a mixing bowl to cool. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
Parboil the white potatoes for 5 mins in a large saucepan; drain well. Tip onto 2 baking sheets along with the sweet potatoes, drizzle over 1 tbsp oil, season and toss to coat. Bake for 20 mins.
Meanwhile, add the mince and 3 tsp harissa seasoning to the cold onions; season. Mix well, then divide into 4 and shape into patties.
Brush the patties with 2 tsp oil. Heat a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat and fry for 2 mins each side until golden.
Turn the wedges and make space on the trays for the burgers. Return everything to the oven for 10 mins more or until the burgers are cooked through.
Mix the remaining ½ tsp harissa with the crème fraîche, then spread onto the cut sides of the burger buns. Top with lettuce, the burgers and some cucumber slices, then sandwich with the bun lids. Serve with the wedges.
Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Stack raw burgers between baking paper and open-freeze cooked wedges before transferring into bags or containers. Defrost thoroughly before continuing from step 4. In order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.
