Method

7 steps Oven 425°F 10 min prep · 73 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss Potato with half the Olive Oil and half the Salt; spread on a large sheet pan and set aside.
Step 2. Meanwhile, heat the rest of the Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 8 minutes. Put the fries in the oven and bake until browned and tender, about 30 minutes, turning halfway.
Step 3. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the onions, stirring often, until deep golden and soft, about 25 minutes. Add Water a splash at a time if the pan gets dry. Transfer the onions to a bowl.
Step 4. Meanwhile, shape Ground Beef into patties, making a shallow dent in each center. Season both sides with the rest of the Salt and the Black Pepper.

Cook

Step 5. Wipe out the skillet and set it over medium heat. Toast Burger Buns cut-side down in batches until golden, about 2 minutes per batch; transfer to plates.
Step 6. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the patties. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes; flip and top with Cheddar Cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese melts and the beef is cooked through with no pink, about 4 minutes more.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Place the burgers on the toasted buns and divide the caramelized onions over them. Serve with the fries.

Tips

Good to know

Keep the onions moving and lower the heat if they begin to scorch before turning golden.

Make ahead

Caramelize the onions up to 3 days ahead, refrigerate, and reheat in the skillet before serving.

Good to know

Check the center of each burger with an instant-read thermometer; ground beef is safe at 160°F.
