Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 2 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 1.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 slices Sliced cheddar cheese
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 4 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the grated potatoes, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to form a potato hash mixture.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Divide the potato mixture into 4 portions and shape each into a round patty about the size of the burger buns.

Step 4

Cook the potato patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 5

In a large bowl, season the ground beef with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.

Step 6

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties slightly larger than the buns (they will shrink while cooking).

Step 7

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 8

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.

Step 9

Slice the tomato into 4 thin rounds and prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly in the oven or on a dry skillet.

Step 10

Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by a burger patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and then a potato hash patty. Place the top bun on each burger.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy your Meat and Potatoes Burger!
