Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp (15ml) neutral oil
- 1/2 medium (75g) yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves (9g) garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 tsp (3g) black pepper
- 1.5 lb (680g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 tbsp (15ml) unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp (3g) smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup (60ml) mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp (30ml) ketchup
- 1 tbsp (15ml) yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp (15ml) dill pickle juice
- 1/2 tsp (3g) garlic powder
- 1.5 cups (170g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup (10g) fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and garlic powder until velvety and smooth. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- Heat the neutral oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or large non-stick pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the ground beef and diced onion to the pan. Cook, breaking the meat apart, until the beef is mahogany-brown and the onions are translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper for 60 seconds until fragrant. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
- Add the butter to the beef fat remaining in the pan. Toss in the cubed potatoes and smoked paprika.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer and let them sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden crust, then cook until tender.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the potatoes.
- Top the mixture with shredded cheddar cheese and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and drizzle with the prepared burger sauce before serving.
