Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Shred the potatoes
    Finely shredded potato pieces on a wooden cutting board next to a blue handheld grater.

    Using the finest setting on your grater, carefully shred the peeled potato. Shredding the potato finely is essential for the right texture of the hamburger patties.

    Tip: Keep a firm grip on the potato as you near the end to protect your fingers.
  2. 2Remove excess moisture
    Hands squeezing shredded potato over a small wooden bowl to extract liquid.

    Take the shredded potatoes and squeeze them firmly with your hands to remove as much water as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the patties hold their shape during frying.

    Tip: Removing the starch-heavy water helps create a crispier patty.
  3. 3Season the beef mixture
    Ground beef in a metal bowl ready to be seasoned with shallots, salt, and black pepper.

    In a metal mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, the squeezed shredded potato, minced shallots, 3-4 grams of salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. These ingredients form the base of your patties.

    Tip: Be generous with the black pepper to add a classic savory kick.
  4. 4Combine ingredients
    Hands in a plastic glove mixing raw beef and shredded potato in a metal bowl.

    Using clean hands or a glove, thoroughly mix the ground beef, potato, and seasonings together until well combined. Ensure the shallots and spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

    Tip: Dont over-mix, as this can make the patties tough.
  5. 5Shape the patties
    Hands using a metal ring mold to shape a hamburger patty on parchment paper.

    Take portions of the meat mixture and press them firmly into a metal ring mold to create uniform circular patties. This ensures even cooking.

    Tip: Press firmly to compact the patty, which helps it hold together in the pan.
  6. 6Prepare the sauce
    Sauce ingredients being combined in a small metal bowl with black pepper being sprinkled on top.

    In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce in a 1:1 ratio. Add a generous amount of fine-granule black pepper and stir until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

    Tip: Using fine-granule black pepper ensures a smoother sauce consistency.
  7. 7Fry the hamburger patties

    Place the prepared ground beef patties into a non-stick pan with plenty of hot oil. Fry each side over medium heat for one minute until well browned.

    Tip: Ensure the pan is adequately heated before adding the patties to get a good sear.
  8. 8Flip the patties
    A spatula flipping a partially cooked hamburger patty in the pan.

    Use a spatula to carefully flip the beef patties once the first side has developed a nice browned crust. Continue frying for another minute to cook the second side.

    Tip: Handle the patties gently to ensure they keep their shape during flipping.
  9. 9Simmer with sauce
    The sauce being poured over four browning beef patties in a frying pan.

    Pour the prepared sauce mixture (ketchup, oyster sauce, dark and light soy sauce, and black pepper) directly over the browned patties in the pan. Simmer over medium heat for one minute, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the meat.

    Tip: Keep the pan uncovered while simmering to help the sauce reduce and coat the patties evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shredded potato helps keep the ground beef moist and tender, and adds a nice subtle texture to the patty while acting as a natural binder.
Absolutely, processed yellow cheese works well for its meltability, but a sharp cheddar or provolone would also be delicious if you prefer a bolder flavor.
Simmer the sauce with the patties uncovered over medium heat. The reduction process concentrates the flavors and allows it to glaze the meat properly.
