Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Finely chop a few pickle slices until you have 2 tsp (4 tsp for 4 servings). (Save remaining pickle slices for serving.) Drain and rinse beans. Trim and mince scallions.
• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
• While potatoes roast, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickle, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and as much hot sauce as you like.
• Meanwhile, place half the beans (all for 4 servings) in a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth. (It’s OK if there are still some larger pieces.) • Stir in Monterey Jack, scallions, garlic powder, Cajun Spice Blend, ¾ of the tempura batter mix, and 3 TBSP water until thoroughly combined. (For 4, use all the tempura batter mix, and ¼ cup water.) Season with salt (we used ¼ tsp; ½ tsp for 4) and pepper. • Divide bean mixture into two mounds (four mounds for 4).
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Using a rubber spatula, add bean mixture mounds to pan and gently press to flatten into patties, each about as wide as a burger bun. • Cook until golden brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer patties to a plate. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches, adding another drizzle of oil before each batch.
• Halve and toast buns until golden; spread cut sides with 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Spread bottom buns with up to half the secret sauce. Fill buns with patties and as much sliced pickle as you like. • Divide sandwiches between plates. Serve with potato wedges and remaining secret sauce on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
These are always a favorite in our house. They take forever to prepare and cook and make a mess but very delicious and filling. I can rarely eat a whole one so I usually cut one up and save the other half for the next day. Great flavor and we love wedges!
Overall really good! There may have been something off in the instructions that led it to turn out crispy on the outside and still somewhat gooey on the inside. The potatoes as a side were too much starch in one dish for my liking, would have preferred something lighter to go with the heavy burger.
Loved this recipe! Best oven fries and burgers. Never thought to make kidney bean burgers and they were fantastic!
The tempura made the burgers a little pasty. Flavor was good, texture could have been better. Enjoyed them nonetheless.
Simple, held together well. Could use some other crunch like crispy jalapeños or onion
At first I was a little unsure about how this was going to turn out but it was really really really delicious! I'm definitely would get this one again.
This meal was delicious! My favorite part about it is that I felt full & satisfied. I was not craving anything else after eating
Great meal for both me and my 12 year old daughter who is vegetarian, but a picky eater. We love this one!
A lovely, hearty vegetarian meal. It packs TONS of flavor.
Very flavorful! Not a vegan but would eat this again. Needs more pickles though
