INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.5 whole sprouted grain bun

0.5 small russet potato

0.25 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 leaf butter lettuce

1 slice tomato

1 slice red onion

0 tsp avocado oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp yellow mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Slice the russet potato into thin matchsticks, then toss them in a bowl with avocado oil, garlic powder, and half of the sea salt.

• 2

  Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-18 minutes until golden and crisp, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.

• 3

  Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and roll them into loose balls without overworking the meat.

• 4

  Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the beef balls in the pan and immediately smash them very thin with a heavy spatula.

• 5

  Season the patties with the remaining sea salt and the black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until a dark, caramelized crust forms on the bottom.

• 6

  Flip the patties, immediately top each with the cheddar cheese, and cook for 1 minute more until the cheese is fully melted.

• 7

  Lightly toast the bun faces in the pan juices for 30 seconds until golden.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by spreading mustard on the bottom bun, followed by the lettuce, tomato, onion, and both beef patties. Serve immediately alongside the hot crispy fries.
