Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges. Toss with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  2. While the potatoes bake, prepare the burger toppings. Slice the tomato into ½-inch thick rounds. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and blue cheese dressing until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns (they shrink while cooking). Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with Monterey Jack cheese and cover the pan to melt.
  6. In the same pan (or a separate one), griddle the tomato slices for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly charred.
  7. Toast the brioche buns in the pan or oven until lightly golden.
  8. Assemble the burgers: spread the blue cheese sauce on the bottom bun, add the patty with melted cheese, top with griddled tomato slices and a generous handful of crispy fried onions. Close with the top bun.
  9. Serve the burgers with the garlic potato wedges on the side.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispy wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then pat dry.

Let the burger patties rest for 2-3 minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.

If you can’t find crispy fried onions, you can make your own by frying thinly sliced onions until golden brown.

FAQ

Can I use a different cheese instead of Monterey Jack?

Yes, you can substitute with cheddar, provolone or any melting cheese you prefer.

How do I make the blue cheese sauce from scratch?

If you don’t have blue cheese dressing, you can mix 3 tablespoons of sour cream with 2 tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese and a splash of milk until smooth.

Can I cook the potato wedges in an air fryer?

Absolutely! Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway through.
