Instructions

1. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty. Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center of 4 patties, then top with the remaining patties, sealing the edges to enclose the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the sliders for 3-4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet until lightly golden.
4. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper.
5. For the potato salad: In a bowl, combine the sliced boiled potatoes, red wine vinegar and chopped parsley. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper.
6. Assemble the sliders: Place each patty on a toasted bun, top with garlic mushrooms and serve with the potato salad on the side.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, you can substitute cheddar with any melting cheese like Monterey Jack, provolone or gouda.

Can I make the potato salad ahead of time?

Absolutely! The potato salad can be made a day in advance and refrigerated. Let it come to room temperature before serving.

How do I prevent the sliders from falling apart?

Be sure to press the edges firmly when sealing the cheese inside. Chilling the patties for 15 minutes before cooking can also help them hold together.
