Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

    Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Halve buns.

    Cut potatoes into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Fry Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single overlapping layer.

    Roast on top rack until lightly browned, 20 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then).

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 8-10 minutes. TIP: Lower heat if onion begins to brown too quickly.

    Stir in half the BBQ sauce (save the rest for serving); cook until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.

  3. 3

    While onion cooks, heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon* and cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes.

    Turn off heat; transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Carefully discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat (you’ll use this to cook the patties).

    Once bacon is cool enough to handle, finely chop half the slices.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine beef*, minced onion, remaining Fry Seasoning, and salt (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings). Form mixture into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.

    Heat pan with bacon fat over medium-high heat; add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side.

    In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with gouda; cover pan until cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Once potatoes have roasted 20 minutes, remove sheet from oven; evenly sprinkle with pepper jack and chopped bacon. Return to oven until cheese melts and potatoes are tender, 5-7 minutes more.

    Meanwhile, toast buns until golden.

    Trim and thinly slice scallions.

  6. 6

    Spread buns with remaining BBQ sauce. Fill with patties, caramelized onion, pickle (you may have extra; if so, serve on the side), and bacon slices.

    Divide burgers and potatoes between plates. Garnish potatoes with sour cream and scallions and serve.
