Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes, grated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4 burger patties (beef, chicken, or veggie)
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the center of the grill.
3. Stack firewood on top of the napkins and light them.
4. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes before cooking.

Step 2: Prepare the Rösti Mixture

1. Grate the potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes with salt, black pepper, flour, melted butter, and the beaten egg.

Step 3: Cook the Rösti Patties

1. Spread butter on the Arteflame flat cooktop griddle.
2. Form the potato mixture into 8 equal-sized patties.
3. Place the patties on the griddle near the center for a higher heat sear.
4. Press them slightly for even cooking and let them sizzle to a golden crisp, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 4: Cook the Burger Patties

1. Move the rösti patties to a cooler edge of the cooktop.
2. Place the burger patties on the center grill grate to sear at 1,000°F for 1-2 minutes per side.
3. Move the seared patties onto the flat cooktop to finish cooking to your desired doneness.
4. When the burgers are 15°F below your target temperature, remove them from the grill.

Step 5: Assemble the Rösti Burger

1. Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on one side of each rösti bun.
2. Place lettuce, tomato, and onion on four rösti patties.
3. Top with the cooked burger patties and a slice of Swiss cheese.
4. Cover with another rösti patty and serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, let the rösti patties cook undisturbed before flipping.
• Use clarified butter for an even richer flavor.
• Grill toppings like onions and tomatoes for added depth of flavor.
• Season the burger patties with salt and pepper right before grilling for the best texture.
• Use a meat thermometer for accurate burger doneness.
