Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion and cook gently until very soft but uncovered. Set aside to cool. Put the onion into a bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Divide the mix into 10 (approx 60g each) and shape into a patty shape of a 6cm diameter.
Fry the patties in an oiled fry pan or on a hotplate over a medium heat for 4 -5 minutes on each side. Use a bread knife to cut open the sliders. Place a dollop of mayonnaise on the heel of the bun, top with a patty, add some watercress then put on the top bun. Serve immediately.
