Mini Big Mac Style Skewers w/ Broiled Salt & Vinegar Potatoes


Description

STOVETOP/OVEN METHOD

THE BEST RECIPE FOR YOUR NEXT SUMMER PARTY! Mini Big Mac Style Cheeseburger Skewers w/ Salt & Vinegar Potatoes.  


Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE POTATOES: 

  • 1-pound Yukon Gold or Fingerling potatoes, sliced lengthwise to 1/4-inch thickness
  • 2 cups distilled white vinegar (apple cider works well but adds a sweetness to it)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Pepper

 

FOR THE SLIDERS:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 TBS total of preferred spices

My preferred spices : pepper, garlic and onion.  I do not use salt as I add a small amount of organic veggie juice.

 

Burger Toppings:

  • Cheddar cheese – cut into small squares
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • Grape/cherry tomatoes
  • Dill pickle chips
  • Optional: jalapeno slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F
  2. Place rinsed, sliced potatoes in a saucepan with 2 cups vinegar and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl combine ground beef, spices and worcestershire sauce. 
  4. Form ground beef into small meatball-like rounds, placing each one in a non-stick or lightly coated mini muffin tray
  5. Cook mini burgers in a preheated 375 degree F oven for approx. 5 minutes and remove from oven
  6. Bring potatoes to a boil then remove from burner- let potatoes cook in hot vinegar for 3 minutes.
  7. Gently transfer potatoes to a baking sheet and pat dry using a few paper towels. 
  8. Coat slices with olive oil, salt and pepper and gently toss. 
  9. Separate slices to a nice even layer and broil until brown and crispy -about 5 minutes.  Flip slices (you don’t have to be fancy about it) and put back under the broiler for 5 more minutes. 
  10. Place a small square of cheese on each burger and return muffin tray to oven under broiler to melt cheese – this will take less than a minute.
  11. Remove from oven and build skewers
  12. serve and enjoy

Notes

 

To lessen the vinegar taste, use ½ water, ½ vinegar (1 cup of each)

To increase vinegar taste, allow potatoes to soak for 30 minutes prior to cooking

Serve burger skewers with the copycat big mac sauce (recipe on blog)

Serve potatoes with a cool dip such as Greek yogurt or sour cream with dill. No salt is needed in dip.
