Greek Roasted Burger Patties & Potatoes (Mpiftekia me Patates) is a favourite family dish here in Greece. Burger Patties are made with ground meat and baked in the oven along with potatoes.
When the meat is cooked with the potatoes, they get a lot more flavorful, plus it's much easier and effortless cooking in one pan!
How to make Greek Burger Patties
Greek Burger Patties are simply made by kneading together the ground meat along with olive oil, bread soaked in water (or breadcrumbs), minced onion, grated tomato and a few herbs like parsley and oregano. You knead the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and then you shape a desired amount into round balls that you slightly tap with your hands to flatten them. You place them in a sheet pan and bake them.
These Greek Burger Patties can go well with a Greek Salad or a Cucumber Salad.
