Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut potatoes into ½-inch thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on the middle rack until golden and tender, 20-25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the tomato into rounds. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, 1 teaspoon water, ½ teaspoon garlic powder and ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning and ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Form into two patties, slightly wider than the buns. Season lightly with pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook patties until browned and cooked to your liking, 3-5 minutes per side. During the last minute, top each patty with a slice of cheddar and cover the pan until melted.
- While burgers cook, wrap corn in damp paper towels and microwave until tender, 3-4 minutes. Let rest 1 minute, then cut each ear in half crosswise. Halve and toast the brioche buns until golden. Spread a thin layer of the Old Bay aioli on the cut sides of the bottom buns. Place patties on buns, top with tomato slices and close with top buns. Serve burgers with corn and potato wedges, with remaining aioli on the side.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy wedges, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
If you prefer your burgers well-done, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes per side.
You can substitute regular hamburger buns if brioche is not available.
