Ingredients

Units Scale

Burgers

  • 2 lbs ground beef 85/15
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp all spice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (or 1 tbsp toum)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 8 slices of cheddar cheese (or your favorite type)

Oven Baked Sumac Fries

  • 3 lbs potatoes (Any variety will do, red and yellow potatoes may cook faster)
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil (use 2 tbsp if using toum)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (use 1 tbsp toum if you have)
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp sumac
  • small bunch chopped chives
  • Flake sea salt

Instructions

Burgers

  1. Place ground beef in a large bowl. Add in all the seasonings and mix well to incorporate.
  2. Form burgers into patties. This recipe will make eight ¼ pound burgers or six ⅓ pound burgers. I tend to make smaller burgers for kids.
  3. After forming the patties, make a hole in the center of each burger. This will help to prevent the burgers from shrinking while grilling.
  4. Heat your grill to medium-high and place burgers on for 4-5 minutes and flip to cook another 4-5 minutes. If you’d like to add cheese, place a slice during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
  5. Remove burgers from grill place on buns and top with pickles, lettuce, onions, tomatoes or wherever your taste buds lead you.

Oven Baked Sumac Fries

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F
  2. Line 2 sheet pans with silicone or parchment paper; you may also use a non-stick sheet pan.
  3. Wash and trim potatoes to remove any blemishes.
  4. Cut in half, then cut each half into 4 wedges.
  5. Toss potatoes and all of the ingredients in a bowl EXCEPT the sumac, chives and flake sea salt.
  6. Line coated potatoes on sheet pans skin facing down and top of wedge facing up.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes rotating the pans every 15 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, using a spatula, toss the fries to re-coat and flip on the sheet pan so other areas become crisp.
  8. Continue to rotate and toss the fries every 15 minutes.
  9. Once fries appear to have a crisp exterior, remove from oven and sprinkle with sumac, chives and flake sea salt. Toss to coat. Enjoy hot.

Notes

Homemade buns were made using Taste of Home recipe. I adapted to use 2 1/2 cups bread flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour, egg washed the tops and added sesame seeds.
