Ingredients

  • 4 large Idaho potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 to 5 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, divided
  • 4 to 5 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 pound ground sirloin
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seed
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons capers
  • Handful fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup pitted black or green olives
  • 4 slices sharp provolone or thinly sliced smoked mozzarella
  • 4 crusty rolls, such as sesame Keiser rolls, split
  • 2 vine ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 10 to 12 basil leaves, torn or shredded
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Heat oven to 500 degrees F.

Cut 10 wedges from each potato and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle a couple tablespoons of oil over the potatoes to coat them lightly then season with rosemary, salt and pepper and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Throw a couple of cloves of cracked garlic on the sheet with potatoes. Roast 25 minutes, turning once.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place ground meats in a bowl and add a 2 to 3 cloves of grated garlic, grill seasoning fennel seed, 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce. Mix the burgers and form 4 patties. Make patties thinner in the center - burgers bulge as they cook. Cook burgers 5 to 6 minutes on each side.

While burgers cook, sliced cheese and tomatoes, onions and basil and reserve.

In a food processor, combine capers, parsley, anchovy paste, lemon zest and olives. Turn processor on and drizzle in 3 to 4 tablespoons oil until a thick paste forms.

Melt cheese on burgers.

Toast buns.

Place burgers on buns and top with tomato, basil, red onions and slather the bun tops with some olive tapenade and serve with oven fries.

    The burger was good enough. However, the fries really were delicious! I didn't make the tapenade as the husband is not really a fan, so maybe I would have liked it better if I had. As it was, though, we both thought it was a pretty good burger (tasted like an Italian sausage burger that satisfied our appetite but definitely not the best we've ever had and I probably won't put in the effort to make this one again. Those fries though... you have to try them!

    My husband and I made this dish last night, and although we thought it was good, we agreed that it wasn't worth the time and effort. We couldn't find ground pork, so we had to grind our own, not a big deal though. I thought the tapenade was bland and didn't add anything to the sandwich. Next time I would make it using a garlic aioli or something similar. The fries were delicious, I would give those alone a 5 star!
