    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients & make the spicy ketchup
    1 Prepare the ingredients & make the spicy ketchup

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch-wide wedges. Halve, peel, and small dice the onion. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Thinly slice the cheese. Halve the buns. In a bowl, combine the ketchup and as much of the hot sauce as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the ketchup to be.

    Roast the potatoes
    2 Roast the potatoes

    Place the potato wedges on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side down. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

    Cook & glaze the onion
    3 Cook & glaze the onion

    Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Add the chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Add the vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until most of the liquid has cooked off. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan. 

    Form the patties
    4 Form the patties

    In a medium bowl, combine the beef and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties; transfer to a plate.

    Cook the patties
    5 Cook the patties

    In the same pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Flip the patties (carefully, as the oil may splatter) and evenly top with the sliced cheese. Loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are browned and cooked through.** Carefully drain off and discard any excess oil. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

    *An instant-read thermometer should register 160°F.

    Add the halved buns, cut side down, to the same pan. Toast on medium-high 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a work surface. Assemble the burgers using the toasted buns, cooked patties, and as much of the glazed onion as you’d like. Serve the burgers with the roasted potatoes and spicy ketchup on the side. Enjoy!
