Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef or Ground Turkey
- 1 package (12 count) Generic Slider Buns or Small Dinner Rolls
- 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Store Brand)
- 2 large Russet Potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 small Yellow Onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Crispy Potato Wedges – Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato wedges in a large bowl with one tablespoon of vegetable oil, half of the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Step 2: Cook the Savory Meat Filling – While the potatoes bake, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add the ground beef or turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with the remaining garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Brown the meat thoroughly until no pink remains, then drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Step 3: Assemble and Melt the Sliders – Slice the entire pack of slider buns in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls. Place the bottom half on a baking sheet. Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly across the buns and top with the shredded cheddar cheese. Place the top half of the buns back on. Slide the tray into the oven for the last 5 minutes of the potato cooking time, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is lightly toasted.
- Step 4: Plating and Serving – Remove the sliders and potatoes from the oven. Use a sharp knife to cut between the individual sliders. Arrange the sliders in the center of a large serving platter and surround them with the hot, crispy potato wedges. Serve immediately while the cheese is still stretchy and the potatoes are crunchy.
