Ingredients


Carmelized Onions

Onion 1 - 3 cups - 375 grams

Oil 1 Tablespoon - 14 grams


Chipped Potatoes

Russet Potato 4 - 4 cups - 800 grams

Vinegar 1 Tablespoon - 14 grams

Water 4 cups - 950 grams

Oil ½ cup - 125 grams


Aoili

Mayonnaise ½ cup - 50 grams

Salt ¼ teaspoon - 1 gram

Granulated Garlic ½ teaspoon - 2 grams

Granulated Onion ½ teaspoon - 2 grams

Black Pepper ¼ teaspoon - 1 gram

Lemon Juice 1 teaspoon - 3 grams


Patty Melt (Makes 3 Patty Melts)

Bread 6 slices

Butter 3 Tablespoons - 42 grams

Beef Patty 3 (6 ounces) - 170 grams

Swiss Cheese 6 ounces (1 ounce slices) - 170 grams

Carmelized Onion 6 ounces - 150 grams

Aoili 6 Tablespoons - 60 grams


Technique


  1. Julienne onion and separate pieces into a bowl, set aside.

  2. Heat 1 Tablespoon oil (high smoke point oil) in a pot at medium-high temperature. (enamel cast iron preferably)

  3. Pour onions into the pot and stir consistently for 15-25 minutes until the onions are caramelized and brown. Set aside for later.

  4. Quarter potatoes and cut into ½ inch wedges. Place into a bowl of water, salt, and vinegar mixture to soak.

  5. Combine mayonnaise, salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion, black pepper, and lemon juice into a bowl and mix till combined. Set aside.

  6. Heat ½ cup oil in a cast iron pan on medium heat. (Use high smoke point oil)

  7. Strain potatoes and dry them with paper towels

  8. Place potatoes into oil, not overcrowding the pan. Cook 5-6 minutes flipping occasionally until golden brown.

  9. Remove potatoes onto a sheet pan lined with paper towels or a metal grate—season with salt.

  10. Heat up 2 cast-iron pans to medium-high heat—one for toasting bread and the other for searing the beef patty.

  11. Place 1 Tablespoon butter into pan and toast bread for 1-2 minutes on each side.

  12. Sear Beef Patty in the second pan for 3-4 minutes while seasoning with salt and pepper. Flip the beef patty and place two slices of Swiss cheese, and 2 ounces of caramelized onions. Turn the heat off to the pan and cover. The residual heat will cook the patty and melt the cheese.

  13. Spread Aoili on both slices of toasted bread, place beef patty onto the bread, and cover with another piece of bread. Slice in half, and serve with chipped potatoes and ketchup.

  14. Enjoy while immersing yourself in the giant new universe of Starfield.
