Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Add your potatoes and cook until fork-tender.
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil onto a baking sheet. Place the cooked potatoes onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each potato.
Smash each potato with a large spatula or bottom of a pan.
Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the minced garlic together in a small bowl. Brush oil over the tops of each smashed potato.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. {or seasoning of your choice}
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
Divide ground beef into 4 portions and roll into balls.
Place beef in the skillet and cook for 30 seconds.
Place a flat, smooth spatula on top of each burger, then top with a pepper shaker or soup can and SMASH each burger flat one at a time.
Season with salt and pepper and flip to the other side. Season cooked side with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes, or until cooked through.
Place a smashed potato onto a plate and top with a smashed burger, avocado, tomato and onion slices and shredded lettuce.
Drizzle with garlic aioli or condiment of your choosing.
Notes
Technically Smashed Burgers would be divided into 8 portions, giving you (2) thinner burger patties. I just wanted one, lol
I used what I consider large Yukon Gold potatoes so I would have a nice burger to potato ratio….which is also why my burger patties were regular size.
I am sure that you could substitute sweet potatoes to make this meal Paleo, but I have not tried that so you are on your own to figure out the cooking times.
