Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the kumara (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Spread over an oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with the garlic & herb seasoning (see ingredients list), season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Cut the kumara to size so it cooks in time. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, separate across two trays.
While the fries are baking, combine the pork mince, egg, fine breadcrumbs, All-American spice blend and the salt in a medium bowl. Shape the pork mixture into patties slightly larger than your burger buns. You should get 1 patty per person. Set aside on a plate.
TIP: Make a shallow indentation in the centre of each patty to help prevent it puffing up as it cooks.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the pork patties and cook, turning, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side. Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the patties, then cover with a lid or foil until the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for best results.
While the patties are cooking, thinly slice the tomato into rounds.
Place the burger buns directly on the wire rack of the oven and bake until heated through, 3 minutes.
Slice the burger buns in half. Spread the base of each bun with some garlic aioli, then top with the mixed salad leaves, tomato and a cheesy pork patty. Serve with the garlic and herb kumara fries.
