Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1.5 pounds small yellow potatoes
• 0.5 cup onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• 2 tablespoons ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Wash and quarter the yellow potatoes, leaving the skin on for texture. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes evenly on one side of the baking sheet. Set aside while preparing the meat patties.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and parsley. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork the mixture.

Step 6

Form the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the patties for 2 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer them to the other side of the baking sheet with the potatoes.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the potatoes and patties halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender, and the meat patties are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F or 70°C).

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the meat patties rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the meat patties with a generous portion of roasted potatoes. Optionally, drizzle with ketchup or your favorite sauce to finish.
