Method

For the Burger

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into 2 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of Gruyere cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster.

For the Caramelized Balsamic Onions

  1. 4

    Cook the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sliced onions. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are soft and golden brown.

  2. 5

    Add Balsamic Vinegar

    Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.

For the Secret Sauce

  1. 6

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well and set aside.

For the Garlic Parmesan Pomme Frites

  1. 7

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.

  3. 9

    Add Parmesan

    Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Toss to combine.
