Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. • Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, halve, peel, and mince shallot. Slice tomato into 1⁄2-inch-thick rounds; season with salt and pepper. Halve buns. • In a small bowl, combine stock concentrate and 3⁄4 cup water (11⁄2 cups for 4 servings).
• In a medium bowl, combine beef*, panko, paprika, 2 tsp water (4 tsp for 4 servings), salt (we used 3⁄4 tsp; 11⁄4 tsp for 4), and pepper. • Form mixture into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer patties to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for patties over medium heat. Add shallot and flour; cook, stirring constantly, until flour is lightly browned, 30-60 seconds. • Gradually whisk in stock; bring to a simmer. • Add as much truffle seasoning as you like; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1-2 minutes more. (Reserve any remaining truffle seasoning for another use.) • Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add a splash of water.
• Toast buns until golden. • Fill buns with tomato slices and patties; spoon as much truffle sauce as you like over patties. Close to form burgers. • Divide burgers and potato wedges between plates. Serve with any remaining truffle sauce on the side for dipping.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

- Ease of prep: Instructions were clear and easy to follow, though some found the sauce-making process a bit time-consuming.
- Suggestions: Consider adding cheese, raw onion, or pickles for extra flavor; adjust truffle seasoning to taste.
- Portions: Some found the burgers small or wished for larger tomato slices to better cover the patty.
- Texture: A few noted the panko made the patties mushy; consider reducing or omitting for a firmer burger.
Reviews from our home cooks
Our whole family was in agreement that this was one of the best burger recipes we have ever had. Ireland definitely deserves the accolades for this masterpiece! My 11yo who only eats ketchup on her burgers ate half of my dinner sauce and all! Good job Hello Fresh, another amazing meal!
Delicious and easy to make. I was a little anxious about the truffle sauce as truffles are notoriously overhyped, but it was pretty tasty and complemented the burger well--especially since it does not have cheese or any other sauce. So if, like me, you're not a fan of tomatoes, that truffle sauce may be the only condiment you have.
This was easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. It was a bit more complicated than most Hello Fresh meals, but the instructions were so well written that it was a breeze, and it was so worth it!
The truffle sauce was one of the best burger sauces I've had and I felt like there was a good amount of it.
That truffle sauce was amazing! Poured it on the burger, dipped my potatoes in it. Really good!
If you're not sure how you feel about Truffle, go Lite on the truffle powder! Hubby likes truffles- he loved this burger. I have never tried truffle but wanted to be adventurous so used the whole seasoning packet.... I HATED it! Different strokes for different folks.
This recipe was an absolute favorite. The truffle sauce was amazing. I love how great the instructions were.
I found out that I am just not a fan of truffles. Their pungent earthiness is too overpowering of a flavor, and just not enjoyable to me. Everything cooked up really nice, but I just didn't like the truffle flavor. Great recipe for those who like truffles, though! Personally, just not a recipe for me, but I'm glad I tried it!
I've never heard of truffle seasoning before but the family loved it. I roasted the potatoes twice as long to get them crispy.
This was very tasty! Truffle sauce is like a gravy. Was easy to cook, and very tasty!
