Ingredients
Scale
For the Potatoes:
- 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced into small cubes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Special Sauce:
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or light mayo)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
For the Bowl Assembly:
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 avocado, sliced
For the Beef:
- 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Roast the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced Yukon gold potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until they turn crispy and golden brown.
- Cook the Beef: While the potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is fully browned and cooked through.
- Make the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until you get a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Assemble the Bowl: In individual bowls, layer the crispy roasted potatoes, cooked ground beef, chopped romaine lettuce, diced roma tomatoes, and slices of fresh avocado to build a colorful and balanced meal.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Drizzle the special sauce over each assembled bowl and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Roast a big batch of potatoes ahead of time and re-crisp them in an air fryer before serving for convenience.
- Store the cooked ground beef and special sauce separately to keep ingredients fresh and assemble the bowl just before eating.
- Swap romaine lettuce for spinach or mixed greens for a different leafy base.
- Add shredded cheese or pickles to give the bowl a more classic burger flavor profile.
