burgers and lemon potatoes on a tray with bowls of mixed greens and chopped veggies on a cutting board

Through these burgers and potatoes together on a whim and I could not get over how delish they were!! The burgers have so much flavor, and a ton of extra nutrients packed in. Plus, they pair perfectly with the lemony roasted potatoes- which get cooked to absolute perfection!

You can never go wrong with some burgers and fries. I love having this type of meal over a big bed of greens for extra veg. Splash it with some vinegar and olive oil for the best flavor combo with this dish! Trust me.

This is a super simple recipe, perfect for both weeknights and weekends. I honestly could eat this multiple times a week, every week! So good.

I love sneaking in extra veggies any way I can! One of my favorite ways is to toss in a bunch of fresh veggies and herbs to burgers. It makes for the most delicious and nutrient-dense meal!

  28. Emily Schad says:

    I don’t think there’s anything bad on here, but wow are these great! It’s pretty minimal prep & the timing between the potatoes and burgers is super easy. We served ours on lightly grilled buns w/tzatziki sauce tonight but I like to put it on spring mix with cucumber and drizzle the sauce.

  29. Abby says:

    So so good! Crazy delicious, healthy and so easy to prepare. A new family favorite!

  30. Carly says:

    These are absolutely delicious!! I made them on Friday and then again Monday of the next week. For dinner I have them with a sandwich thin, lettuce, sriracha, tzatziki, and greek olives (my hubby doesn’t like them so I keep them out of the meat mixture). For lunch I will have two patties over lettuce with the same toppings. Filling and delicious. 10/10!
