Impossible Burgers with Smashed Potatoes on the Blackstone Griddle

Today, I’m bringing veganism to the Blackstone Griddle with a delicious meal of Impossible Burgers and Smashed Potatoes. Let’s get started!

Prep

Ingredients

• Impossible Burgers
• Steam-in-the-bag baby potatoes
• Worcestershire sauce
• Ciabatta rolls
• No-salt seasoning
• Lettuce
• Mayo
• Dill pickles
• Tomato

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Defrost the Impossible Burgers:
   • Start by defrosting the Impossible Burgers. Once defrosted, use a fork to poke a few holes in them to help them absorb more flavor.
   • Add ½ teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle on some no-salt seasoning. Mix well and set aside.
2. Steam the Potatoes:
   • Place the baby potatoes in the microwave. Normally, these take 8-9 minutes to fully cook, but we’ll pre-cook them for 6 minutes to make them soft enough to smash on the grill.
   • If you can’t find microwavable potatoes, simply bring them to a boil and then drain before placing them on the grill.
3. Organize on Trays:
   • Arrange the prepped burgers, potatoes, and corn on trays. Now, we’re ready to head outside and start cooking!

Grilling Instructions

1. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle:
   • Preheat your Blackstone grill to 375 degrees. Use a thermometer to keep track of the temperature across different sections of the grill. The preheating process should take about 8 minutes.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
   • Spray some avocado oil on the grill top. Add the potatoes first and let them cook for about 5 minutes on each side.
   • Use a spatula or a press to smash the potatoes. If they’ve been pre-cooked, this process will be easy.
3. Cook the Impossible Burgers:
   • Now, it’s time for the star of the show: our Impossible Burgers. Place them on the grill where the temperature is around 350 degrees. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust.
4. Flip and Toast:
   • Flip the potatoes after a few minutes to get them lightly crispy on each side. Add a bit more avocado oil if needed to prevent sticking.
   • Flip the burgers to ensure even cooking on both sides.
   • Place the ciabatta rolls on the back edge of the grill where the temperature is lower to give them a light toast.
5. Final Steps:
   • After about 10 minutes, the potatoes should be done, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The burgers should also be perfectly cooked. The rolls only take a few minutes to toast.

Serve

Plating and Enjoying

1. Dress the Burgers:
   • Dress your burgers with fresh lettuce, juicy tomato slices, crunchy dill pickles, and a dollop of mayo.
2. Serve the Sides:
   • Plate the smashed potatoes alongside the burgers. Add a pinch of coarse salt and a pat of butter to the potatoes for extra flavor.
3. Enjoy Your Meal:
   • Everything is cooked to perfection! The Impossible Burger is juicy and flavorful, the potatoes are lightly crispy on the outside.
