Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Fast food, still healthy and tasty

Mix the meat, onions, sage, breadcrumbs, and 2 tablespoons of diet ketchup. Bind with the egg white. Form 2 burgers from this meat mixture and fry or grill them in a non-stick pan or on the grill without fat. Cut open the buns and top with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomato, diet ketchup, and a burger, if desired. For the French fries, cut the peeled potatoes into thin sticks. Place them in a bowl with the oil and toss to coat the potatoes all over with oil. Spread out on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (top/bottom heat) for approx. 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through. Then serve with the burgers and diet ketchup and Miracle Whip. Tip for the bun: If you miss the soft bun on your burger (like in a fast food restaurant), buy fresh buns (ideally still slightly warm) and immediately place them in a plastic bag. Shortly afterward, it’s no longer crispy, but rather sloppy as usual. Otherwise, you might also recommend a ciabatta roll (it’s not whole grain, but then, you don’t always eat that anyway) – firm and crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside.
