Ingredients
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- 5 small to medium potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Combine ketchup, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and sweet relish in a bowl to make the burger sauce. Set aside.
- Peel, wash, and cube the potatoes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well coated.
- Cook bacon until crispy, preferably baked at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes on a parchment-lined sheet pan, then crumble.
- Cook the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to crisp evenly.
- While the potatoes cook, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef with chopped onion and seasonings.
- Drain excess grease from the skillet, then stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the beef and mix everything together well.
- Top the mixture with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon, then place the skillet in a 400°F oven until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Remove skillet from oven, drizzle burger sauce over the top, and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve with optional burger toppings.
Notes
- Use an oven-safe skillet to melt the cheese safely.
- Air frying potatoes provides a crispy texture without deep frying.
- Oven-roasted potatoes work if no air fryer is available.
- Leftover bacon from breakfast is perfect for this dish.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Serve with classic burger toppings like pickles, tomatoes, or lettuce for extra flavor.
