- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 3 crushed garlic cloves
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 3 boiled eggs, grated
- 2 medium potatoes
- 50g grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions
Preparing the Onions
- Cut and Separate Onions: Start by cutting two medium onions in half, then into thin strips. Separate all the layers of the onion strips and transfer them to a medium baking tin. Drizzle with olive oil and set aside. This will create a flavorful bed for the patties.
Preparing the Ground Beef
- Mix Ground Beef: In a large bowl, add 500g of ground beef, 1 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, 3 crushed garlic cloves, and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. This mixture forms the base of your flavorful patties.
- Shape Patties: Shape the ground beef mixture into burger patties. Ensure they are even in size for uniform cooking. Transfer the patties to the baking tin with the onions.
Topping the Patties
- Add Grated Eggs: Top each patty with the grated boiled eggs. This adds a unique texture and flavor to the patties.
- Grate and Add Potatoes: Grate two medium potatoes using the large holes of a grater. Top each patty with a generous amount of grated potatoes. This layer adds a delicious crunch and substance to the dish.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle 50g of grated mozzarella cheese over the potatoes. The cheese will melt and create a gooey, flavorful topping.
- Add Mayonnaise: Drizzle a bit of mayonnaise over each patty. This adds a creamy texture and enhances the flavor of the dish.
Baking the Patties
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Bake the Patties: Place the baking tin with the prepared patties in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the patties, as baking times may vary depending on your oven’s power. The patties are done when the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, and the meat is cooked through.
Serving
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the oven. Serve the patties hot, along with the cooked onions from the baking tin. This dish pairs well with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
Tips and Variations
- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini to the baking tin. These vegetables will add more flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Cheese Options: Experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar, gouda, or parmesan for a unique twist.
- Herbs and Spices: Customize the flavor by adding different herbs and spices to the ground beef mixture, such as thyme, rosemary, or cumin.
- Low-Carb Option: For a low-carb version, replace the grated potatoes with grated cauliflower or skip the potatoes altogether.
