Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) with racks in the top and middle positions. Wash and dry the produce. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Halve, peel and dice the onions into 1/2-inch pieces.
2. On a baking sheet, toss the potato wedges with a large drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, 1 packet of Dijon mustard (2 packets for 8 servings) and 1 teaspoon of fry seasoning (2 teaspoons for 8 servings). Set aside for later.
3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Carefully drain any excess fat from the pan.
4. Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the beef stock concentrates, Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, remaining fry seasoning, remaining Dijon mustard and 1/3 cup water (2/3 cup for 8 servings). Return the pan to medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is combined and creamy, 1-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in one-quarter of the cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
5. Halve the baguettes lengthwise. Using your fingers, gently hollow out the baguettes, being careful not to puncture the crusts. (Save the insides for another use, like breadcrumbs.)
6. Evenly fill the hollowed baguette halves with the beef mixture. Place the filled baguettes on a second baking sheet, making sure they are touching to help them stay upright. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the tops. Bake on the middle rack until the baguettes are lightly toasted and the cheese is melted, 6-8 minutes.
7. Divide the cheeseburger boats and potato wedges among plates. Serve with the special sauce on the side for dipping. Alternatively, arrange everything on a platter for family-style serving.
