Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Slice the russet potato into thin wedges and toss them in a bowl with the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
While the fries roast, combine the lean ground beef and cottage cheese in a bowl, mixing gently until just incorporated.
Form the beef mixture into one thick patty.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
During the last minute of cooking, place the whole wheat bun halves face down in the skillet to lightly toast.
Place the cooked burger on the toasted bun and serve immediately alongside the hot fries and fresh mixed greens drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
