Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Large skillet
- Small bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20)
- 2 large Yukon Gold Potatoes diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 cups Fresh Lacinato Kale shredded
- 1/2 cup Sharp Orange Cheddar shredded
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley minced
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack Cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss diced potatoes with oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop a crust. Break into crumbles and cook until browned.
- Push beef to one side of the skillet. Add shredded kale to the empty space and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until just wilted.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, and heavy cream until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Divide roasted potatoes among bowls. Top with beef and kale mixture, drizzle with burger sauce, and sprinkle with cheddar, Monterey Jack, and parsley.
Notes
Storage: Store potatoes, beef mixture, and sauce in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat potatoes in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Warm beef in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water.
Best Tips: Use a hot skillet and don't crowd the beef for crispy edges. Grate cheese fresh for smoother melting. Serve immediately for the crispiest potatoes.
Variations: Swap ground beef for turkey, kale for spinach, or potatoes for cauliflower. Add pickles or hot sauce to the sauce for extra flavor.
