Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 3 Russet potatoes
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 4 slices Pickles
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 2 tbsp Mustard
• 1 tbsp Oil for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a standard muffin tin with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the shredded potatoes with 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of black pepper, and the egg. Combine well to coat the potato shreds.

Step 4

Press the potato mixture into the muffin tin cups, creating a 'basket' shape by pressing up the sides. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool while preparing the beef patties.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine the ground beef, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty small enough to fit into the baked potato baskets.

Step 6

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Assemble the hamburger baskets: Place a lettuce leaf in each potato basket, followed by a beef patty. Top with a slice of tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, a pickle slice, and a dollop of ketchup and mustard.

Step 8

Serve the hamburger baskets while warm and enjoy!
