Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 1/2 pound ground beef dry, then season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Form into 4 equal patties and cook on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, adding 4 American cheese slices during the last minute to melt.
  3. Step 3: While burgers cook, thinly slice 1/4 cup red onion, 1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, and 1/4 cup dill pickles.
  4. Step 4: Cut 2 large russet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick sticks. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
  5. Step 5: Divide potato sticks into three equal portions. Toss one portion with 1/4 cup beet puree, another with 1/4 cup spinach puree, and the last with 1/2 teaspoon turmeric mixed with 1 tablespoon water.
  6. Step 6: Spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  7. Step 7: Toast buns lightly on the grill. Assemble burgers with melted cheese, red onion, yellow bell pepper, and pickles on toasted buns, serving with rainbow fries on the side.
