Instructions

  1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel and finely dice onion. Thinly slice tomato into rounds. Thinly slice pickle into rounds; mince a few slices until you have 2 tablespoons. Tear off a few romaine leaves for topping burgers (save the rest for another use). Halve buns.
  2. Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, Fry Seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, ketchup, mustard, minced pickle, 1 teaspoon sugar and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Set aside.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl.
  5. Season patties all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until browned, 3-5 minutes per side. Top each patty with cheddar. Reduce heat to medium; cover pan until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, toast buns until golden brown. Fill toasted buns with patties, romaine leaves, tomato, sliced pickle, cooked onion and sauce. Serve potato wedges on the side with any remaining sauce for dipping.

Recipe Tips

For extra crispy fries, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.

If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the special sauce.

Make sure the pan is hot before adding the patties to get a good sear.
