Gouda pork burgers with caramelized Sriracha onion and potato wedges

1 double burger with sides prepared 

Here's what you get:


Yellow onion
Garlic
Yukon Gold potato
Sriracha, gouda cheese
Sour cream
Lime
Potato buns (not pictured/used)
Smoked paprika
Ground pork
Mayonnaise

The potato:

These were cut early in the day and left to soak in water and a bit of baking soda at room temperature. Roasting instructions; 450 degrees for 20-25 mins. 

The protein:


I'm doing a double paddy today so the entire 10 oz of pork was used. During the patty prep I added some sirracha. The burgers were set aside to rest while I prepared the rest of the components. When ready the patties were cooked for 6 minds each side before adding the cheese and coveringfor 3 minutes.

The sauce and onion:

There's a suggestion on the card to add a pinch of baking soda to the onions while cooking so I tried this out. There must be a sweet spot for this because my onions went from browned to mush. Thankfully the entire onion wasn't used so I cut and fried some additional onions in the pan with the patties.

The sauce is fairly straightforward all you do is combine the mayonnaise, sour cream and some lime juice, zest, garlic thrn add salt and pepper to taste.

Extras:

I added a couple sweetie peppers to the plate.

The plate:



I wasn't too excited about this burger for some reason.  It tasted ok but something was definitely missing. Maybe a non-cream based sauce would have worked better.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
