Potato Buns:

1.       Blend the warm milk, yeast, half the sugar(~35g), 1 egg and 1 egg yolk

2.       In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, mashed potatoes, dough conditioner, salt, softened butter & yeast mixture. Kneed for 10 minutes or until the dough forms

3.       Place the dough ball into a lightly greased bowl covered with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour

4.       Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 even dough balls

5.       Pro Tip: you can freeze any of the leftover dough! Just leave the frozen dough out on the counter for 4 hours or in the fridge overnight

6.       Place the dough balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and then into a covered container. Rise for an additional 1.5-2 hours

7.       Once Risen, brush with an egg wash and sprinkle over sesame seeds (optional). Then bake in a 365° oven for 17 minutes.

Spread:

1.       Mix all ingredients in a bowl

Animal Style Double Double :

1.       On a medium low heat, cook the diced onion in butter for 15 minutes, cook until golden or slightly charred

2.       Form the beef into roughly ¼ pound balls

3.       In an oiled, ripping hot pan, place down the meat ball. Smash using a heavy pan, spatula or burger press (oil the surface with cooking spray or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking), season with seasoned salt, then sear until the edges become browned and crispy. Flip and place on a slice of cheese. Repeat with each meat ball

4.       To construct the burger, place down the bottom bun covered with spread, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, two smash burger patties, a large scoop of the caramelized onions, and the top bun.

Animal Style Fries :
