Crispy mashed potato nests filled with cheeseburger beef, crispy turkey bacon and melted cheddar, topped with pickles and tomatoes like a loaded burger.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 lbs (1.1 kg) russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) shredded sharp cheddar
  • Toppings: diced tomatoes, chopped pickles, shredded lettuce, burger sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-18 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well and let them steam dry for 2 minutes.
  3. Mash the potatoes with the butter, then stir in the egg yolks, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth.
  4. Divide the mash into 8 mounds on the baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to press a deep well in the center of each to form a nest with tall sides.
  5. Bake the empty nests for 15 minutes until they start to firm up and turn lightly golden.
  6. Brown the beef with the onion. Drain, then stir in ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Stir in half the turkey bacon.
  8. Fill the nests with the burger mixture and top with cheddar and the remaining turkey bacon.
  9. Bake 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
  10. Top with tomatoes, pickles and a drizzle of burger sauce.

Notes

Quick burger sauce: mix 1/4 cup mayo, 1 tbsp ketchup, 1 tsp mustard and 1 tbsp chopped pickles.
