Crispy Potatoes

Method

Prepare the Crispy Potatoes

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Make Talula's Secret Sauce

  1. 2

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, finely chopped pickles, and smoked paprika. Mix well and set aside.

Cook the Burger Patties

  1. 3

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form into two equal patties.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side. In the last minute, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty to melt.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 5

    Build the Smashburger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread Talula's secret sauce on the bottom bun, add shredded lettuce, place the cheesy patties on top, and finish with the top bun.
