How To Make awesome burger bite appetizers

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    Gather your ingredients.
  • Step 3
    Chef’s Note: For presentation purposes, I try to make the potato, burger, all about the same size. In this case 1.5 inches (3.8cm).

    Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).

    Brush the potato rounds with olive oil, and season with salt & pepper.

    Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Bake in the oven until cooked through and starting to brown, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Step 8
    Remove from the oven and reserve.
  • Step 9
    Chef’s Note: Leave the potatoes on the baking sheet.

    Divide the ground chuck into six patties, and sprinkle with a bit of salt & pepper, 1/2 ounce (14g) each.
  • Step 11
    Add the butter to a large sauté pan, over medium heat.
  • Step 12
    Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan, and then add the burgers.
  • Step 13
    Cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.

    Add a bit of horseradish sauce to the top of each one of the potato rounds.
  • Step 15

    Put under the broiler, until the cheese melts and begins to bubble, about 1-2 minutes.
