Background content: is this popular at certain times of year? Special holidays?

This was inspired by my other recipe on this site, and pairs well with this amazing sidedish recipe. Contextual, in-content links are far more valuable than a group listed at the bottom of the post.

Instructions

Use this section for process shots, alternating between the step and image showing the step. Users don’t like seeing process shots cluttering up the recipe card, so include your process shots here.

  1. Form into ball shape with your hands
  1. Step 3: Press into patties

Remember that image SEO is important: file names should reflect the recipe + step they represent. Only use alt text as a screen reader description. Do not use captions.

Hint: leave a useful hint here, like let the grill run for 4-5 minutes to burn off any remnants, then clean it. I like to use this bristle-free barbecue brush (affiliate link) for cleaning the grill.

Substitutions

If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don’t fake it – only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

  • Lettuce – instead of ice berg lettuce, you can use romaine lettuce or spinach
  • Bun – use gluten free buns instead of white bread buns to make this gluten free
  • Vegetarian – the beef hamburger can be replaced with a plant-based burger to make this vegetarian

Even if your reader doesn’t follow a specific diet (eg. gluten free), they may have friends or family that they’re cooking for that could use this. This is also a great idea to link out to another blogger with a similar recipe that fits a different diet.

Variations

Giving the visitor ideas on how they can change this recipe to better suit their dinner guests, or their cultural cuisine, is a great way to increase the chances they make the recipe

  • Spicy – add chili pepper flakes while cooking to imbue heat into the dish, or banana peppers
  • Deluxe – add guacamole, crispy onions or
  • Kid friendly – add crushed potato chips (ketchup chips!)

Equipment

Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.

Tell your visitors what equipment you use and how to adjust the recipe if they use something different, and link to your affiliate link to purchase the equipment.

Storage

Store the wet ingredients (lettuce, tomato, onion) separately from the dry ingredients (buns) in the fridge, and recombine when ready. Good for 2-3 days.

These ingredients do/don’t stand up well to freezing for X days/weeks/months.

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 12 Little red or creamer potatoes
  • Salt (Enough to make the water taste of the sea)
  • High heat oil (grapeseed, avocado oil)
  • Salt and pepper (Big pinch to start, then to taste.)
  • Optional toppings (Vegan butter, chopped garlic, parsley, dill, fennel fronds)

Method

  1. 1 In a pot, boil salty water
  2. 2 Reduce heat to medium-high. Slowly place potatoes in for 6 minutes or until tender.
  3. 3 Drain potatoes, set aside.
  4. 4 Heat large cast iron pan with oil over Medium enough to thinly coat bottom.
  5. 5 Place potatoes in one layer in cast iron after heated. Gently squish with a sturdy spatula so that each is flat top and bottom with a bit of roundness in the middle. This is to have an even crisp layer on bottom and top. Let potatoes sit don’t move them and let crisp skin develop at a medium temperature for 5-6mins.
  6. 6 When a lovely French fry or crisp potato scent hits your nostrils that means its time to careful flip your potatoes. Check one by turning over to test crispness is it a nice dark brown? Turn over the rest. If not check in every minute or so.
  7. 7 After both sides are crispy add salt and pepper.

Notes

You could also add chopped dill and parsley and a quick garlic butter with parsley to toss these lil potatoes in. Experiment! I love these with all sorts of fun toppings or dips dip in a Mayo concoction of smoked paprika lemon and Mayo. Mmm.
