Juicy cheeseburgers with pickled jalapeños topped with a crispy hash brown are a crowd favorite and perfect to serve at your next cookout. Yes please!
Listen up! Today we are discussing why everything is made better when topped with a crispy hash brown. Because would you just look at that golden crunchiness? I mean. Now I know that there’s nothing wrong with a classic cheeseburger. We all know it. We all love it. But every now and then we want something a little extra, don’t we? We want crunch and spice and everything nice. And I can guarantee that a crispy hash brown and pickled jalapeños make this cheeseburgers infinitely better.
How to cook a burger on the stove
Make burger patties by combining ground beef/beef mince with spices, breadcrumbs and beaten egg. Mix until just combined then form patties. Heat a grill pan or skillet until hot then add the patties and cook until golden brown and caramelized on both sides and cooked to your preference, approximately 2-4 minutes per side. Add cheese to the top of the burger and allow to melt before serving.
How to make hash browns
The key to a really good hash brown is to rinse grated potatoes until the water runs clear. This gets rid of any excess starch which could add a gluey texture to the finished hash brown. Dry the potatoes well and then mix with a little flour to bind them, a pinch of salt and pepper and that’s it. No egg necessary. Fry in really hot oil until golden brown and crisp and you’re done.
