Smash Burgers
Thin, craggy-edged patties seared to a deep caramelized crust with melty cheese and crisp, buttery buns—each bite is all texture and punchy flavor. The technique is simple but exacting: a hot griddle, a firm smash, and fast finishing for the best burger-to-bun ratio.

4 potato buns, split
4 slice cheddar cheese

1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
