Cooking Steps

PREP & ROAST POTATOES
1
  • Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.  

  • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper

  • Roast on middle rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

MAKE SLAW & MIX MAYO
2
  • Meanwhile, zest and halve orange. Squeeze juice from half the orange (whole orange for 4 servings) into a small bowl.

  • In a medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, 1 TBSP orange juice (2 TBSP for 4), a pinch of zest, a drizzle of olive oil, salt (we used ¼ tsp), and pepper. Toss to coat; set aside until ready to serve.

  • In a separate small bowl, combine mayonnaise, half the jerk sauce, and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4).

FORM & COOK PATTIES
3
  • In a second medium bowl, gently combine beef*, remaining jerk sauce, panko, and a pinch of salt.

  • Form beef mixture into two patties (four patties for 4 servings), each slightly wider than a burger bun. 

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side.

FINISH & SERVE
4
  • Halve and toast buns; spread a thin layer of spicy jerk mayo on cut sides.

  • Fill buns with patties and citrus slaw. Divide burgers and potato wedges between plates. Serve with remaining spicy jerk mayo on the side for dipping.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many loved the jerk sauce's bold flavor, though some found it too mild; consider adding extra seasoning for more kick 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: Some found patties fell apart while cooking; avoid overworking the meat when forming and consider chilling before frying.
  • Suggestions: Try doubling the orange juice and zest in the slaw for more citrus punch; air frying pre-cooked potatoes creates crispy wedges.
  • Portions: Triple or quadruple the slaw to serve as a refreshing veggie side dish alongside the burgers and fries.

Even with the bread crumbs, the sauce caused the patties to fall apart while cooking. Probably a good idea to add a note to the recipe card not to over work the meat before forming the patties. Incredible flavors. Everyone in the family liked it.

Triple or quadruple the slaw so it can serve as a veggie side, too. Y'all need to break away from the burger & fries model. There's nothing wrong with either, but there needs to be a green salad, fruit salad, something nutritious and fresh in there, too.

The sauce is so good! It mixes so well with the citrus on the burgers and it's excellent on the fries.

This was the best burger I have ever had! The jerk spice/sauce is what really gives it all the flavor and makes this the best burger I've ever had!

These were so good! Different - never thought of using orange juice/zest in a slaw, but it was oh so good!

I was worried about the slaw because on its own, it wasn't great, but on the burger, it was great!

Loved a burger without cheese. Jerk spice was excellent. Would love a gluten free bun option.
