Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1.5 pounds small yellow potatoes
- 0.5 cup onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Wash and quarter the yellow potatoes, leaving the skin on for texture. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes evenly on one side of the baking sheet. Set aside while preparing the meat patties.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and parsley. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork the mixture.
Form the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the patties for 2 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer them to the other side of the baking sheet with the potatoes.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the potatoes and patties halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender, and the meat patties are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F or 70°C).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the meat patties rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the meat patties with a generous portion of roasted potatoes. Optionally, drizzle with ketchup or your favorite sauce to finish.
