Burger Bowls and Fries

Ingredients

Fries

• 2 large Russet Potatoes peeled and sliced into fry shapes about 1/2” thick
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast optional

Special Sauce

• 1/3 cup paleo mayo homemade or purchased
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon dill pick relish or chopped dill pickles
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Bowls

• 6 slices paleo friendly bacon no sugar added for Whole30
• 1 lb ground beef I used 80% lean grass fed beef
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
• Large pinch black pepper or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 cups greens of choice I used hearts of romaine
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved or sliced
• 1 medium purple onion thinly sliced
• Sliced dill pickles no sugar added for Whole30, add as many as you like
• 1 large avocado or two small ones

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch—this is the secret to crispy fries. Drain, rinse, and pat completely dry.
2. Toss the potatoes with the oil and seasonings, then spread them out so no fries touch. Roast for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
3. To cook the bacon in the oven, arrange it on the second baking sheet and bake for 16–20 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Bake it on a separate rack alongside the fries, or cook it in a skillet until crisp.
4. While the fries and bacon cook, whisk together the special sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the beef, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and cook for 2–3 minutes, breaking it up until browned.
6. To assemble 4–6 burger bowls, divide the greens among bowls and top with the tomatoes, onions, pickles, beef, bacon, hot fries, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with the special sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
