Whole30 Burgers with Potato Waffle Buns
Equipment
- Mini Waffle Iron
Ingredients
Burgers
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼-½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil, for cooking
Waffle Buns
- ½ medium potato, grated (can use regular or sweet)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- avocado oil (the spray option is easiest here)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Special Sauce
- 2 tbsp compliant mayo (I use avocado mayo)
- 1 tbsp compliant ketchup
- 1 tsp rice vinegar (sub apple cider vinegar for paleo compliant)
- 2 tsp compliant relish (I use Bubbie's)
Instructions
Potato Waffles
- Grate half of a sweet or regular potato over a large bowl.
- Whisk eggs in a separate bowl and add to the shredded potato along with seasonings and mix together.
- Heat your waffle iron (I use a mini one from the brand Dash) and add a generous amount of avocado oil. Spray works best here! Let the iron heat up.
- Add a good amount of sweet potato to the iron and cook. The times I used more to make a thicker waffle were they times that it worked better for me. Don’t press down too hard on the iron to avoid sticking!
- Check on the waffle every few minutes until formed into a waffle shape and carefully remove when ready. I use two forks to gently remove the waffle. It will be hot!
Burgers
- Add all burger ingredients aside from the oil into a bowl and mix until combined evenly.
- Add oil to a skillet on the stove and cook on both sides until it's cooked as you like it best.
- Prep toppings and mix together sauce ingredients.
- Add your sandwich fixings to the waffle buns and enjoy!
