Damsel and I decided to have hamburgers and roasted potato spears today. We didn’t just buy ground beef patties and throw them on the grill, but rather ground up some brisket and put in the seasonings ourselves. Damsel prepared four half-pound patties from a two pound brisket we bought on sale and had in the freezer until yesterday.
I started the patio grill and preheated to 400°F with the lid closed. A low flame setting does the job. Meanwhile, Damsel sliced up the potatoes into spears and anointed them with seasonings and some EVOO.
She then puts the potato slices on a baking sheet and I slip them onto the shelf in the preheated grill. There they sit for 20-25 minutes when I take the tongs out and turn them over on the baking sheet. After another 25 minutes, they’re done. Moved them to a warm place on the grill and turned up the heat on the other side for the burger patties.
Grilled the patties until medium. For the last minute or so, I topped the patties with Havarti cheese slices. We like Havarti better than cheddar or American slices.
When the burgers were done, we brought them in and fixed up paper plates with the cheeseburgers on buns with onion, tomato and lettuce. Today, we added some green goddess dressing. Served with the ‘taters, this was sure a good meal!
