- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a sheet pan and place them in the oven. Roast for about 15 minutes.
3. Make the Burger Mixture: While the potatoes begin roasting, in another bowl, combine ground beef or lamb, feta cheese, red onion, garlic, oregano, dill, salt, and pepper.
Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
4. Shape the Patties: Form the mixture into four equal-sized burger patties.
5. Add Burgers to the Pan: After the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and carefully place the burger patties on the pan alongside the potatoes.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Prepare the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns lightly, either in a skillet or toaster.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Once the burgers are done, remove them from the oven.
Squeeze lemon juice over the baby spinach or arugula and toss lightly.
Place the burger patties on the toasted buns, top with the lemony greens, and any additional toppings desired (like sliced tomatoes or cucumbers).
8. Serve: Serve the burgers with the roasted potato wedges on the side, garnished with fresh parsley.
Variations and Tips:
- Swap the Protein: For a healthier option, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef or lamb.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace the burger patties with a store-bought or homemade falafel patty for a delicious vegetarian meal.
- Cheese Variations: If you're not a fan of feta, try using goat cheese or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- Potato Alternatives: Instead of traditional potatoes, consider using sweet potatoes for a sweet and nutritious twist.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of tzatziki sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for the potatoes for an extra flavor boost.
