A smash burger you eat with a fork. Press the beef thin and leave it alone until the underside is deep brown and craggy — that crust is the whole point.

Let's Cook

Step 1
10 min
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the diced potatoes in one layer and cook, stirring now and then, until golden and crisp at the edges, about 10 minutes. Scoop them into your serving bowls.
Step 2
6 min
Turn the heat to high. Pinch the beef into 4 loose balls, set them in the hot skillet, and smash each flat with the back of a spatula. Don't move them for 3 minutes — that's the crust forming. Flip and cook 2 minutes more, to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Step 3
4 min
Pile shredded lettuce and the potatoes into the bowls, add a patty to each, and drizzle with ketchup and mustard.
