Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix the grated potato and onion into the ground beef.
- Add salt and pepper to the mixture.
- Form into patties.

Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding minced garlic or herbs like parsley to the beef mixture. If you're looking for a lighter option, you can substitute ground turkey for the beef. Using a food processor can quickly grate the potato and onion. Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the patties from becoming soggy. For a twist, try adding some grated cheese into the mix.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these potato beefburgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and pickles. They pair beautifully with Coney Island Spuds for a complete meal. You can also offer a side of coleslaw or grilled vegetables to add freshness. For a dipping sauce, try a zesty barbecue or garlic aioli.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover potato beefburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them on a griddle or in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes per side. You can also microwave them, but this may result in a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these burgers ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the patties ahead of time. Form them and place them between sheets of parchment paper in the refrigerator for up to a day. This allows the flavors to meld and makes cooking quick and easy when you’re ready to serve.
What can I use instead of ground beef?
Ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner alternative to ground beef, providing a lighter option. For a vegetarian version, try using black beans or lentils mashed with breadcrumbs as a binding agent for a hearty burger.
How do I know when the burgers are fully cooked?
The burgers should be cooked until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check. They should be browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center for safe consumption.
