Method
Shape the patties.
Put the mince, onion granules, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix briefly, just enough to combine. Overworking it toughens the patties.
Divide into 8 equal portions and press each into a thin patty a little wider than the buns, as they shrink and thicken as they cook.
Cooking.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the patties in batches, 2 to 3 minutes a side, pressing once with a spatula to keep good contact with the pan.
Lay a mini square of cheese over each patty for the final minute and let it melt.
Assembly and serving.
Mix the ketchup, mustard and light mayonnaise in a small bowl.
Split the buns and spread sauce on both cut sides. Build with lettuce and onion on the base, then the patty, then gherkin slices, and close.
Serve two sliders per person, straight away.
