Get ready for everything you love about cheeseburgers—all the flavors, all the juiciness, all the melty cheese, the taters, pickles, special sauce—without the bun! You’ll combine ground beef, cheddar, and panko to make savory, cheesy meatballs that crisp up perfectly in the oven alongside garlicky golden-brown potato wedges. While they roast, you’ll whip up a sweet and tangy special sauce of ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and minced pickle for the ultimate spread and dipper. Can you say: “crowd-pleaser”?

• Adjust racks to top and middle positions; preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Mince a few pickle slices until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). • Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until golden brown and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine beef*, cheddar, panko, stock concentrate, remaining garlic powder, and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt (we used 1⁄2 tsp; 1 tsp for 4) and pepper. • Form mixture into 10 1 1⁄2-inch meatballs (20 meatballs for 4). • Place meatballs on a second lightly oiled baking sheet. • Roast meatballs on middle rack until browned and cooked though, 12-15 minutes.
• While meatballs roast, in a small bowl, combine minced pickle, mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup. • Divide special sauce between two small serving bowls (four bowls for 4 servings).
• Divide potato wedges, meatballs, and remaining pickle slices between plates. Serve with special sauce on the side for dipping.
