Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce. Slice potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and cut onion into ¼-inch-thick rounds, keeping layers intact. Halve buns.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until tender and browned at the edges, 2-4 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan. Tip: Cook onions in a single layer; do in batches if needed.
- Form beef into two patties (four for 4 servings), each slightly wider than a burger bun. Season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. In the last 1-2 minutes, top patties with cheddar and cover pan to melt.
- While patties cook, toast buns until golden brown. Spread as much smoky mustard as you like onto cut sides of buns.
- Fill buns with griddled onion, patties and crispy fried onions. Divide burgers between plates and serve with potato wedges on the side.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy potato wedges, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
Don’t overmix the beef when forming patties; handle gently for juicier burgers.
If you don’t have smoky mustard, mix regular mustard with a pinch of smoked paprika.
