Weekend at last. Did Smash Burgers and Sweet Potato Wedges on Saturday night.

Here's the fixin's for the burgers. These burgers consist of 2 oz. of meat each. Ground chuck, 80/20. House of Q Slow Smoke Gold for my smash sauce. Found these nice little 3 inch buns for burgers.



These are my Smashers. Used the lodge press today as the burger sizes were smaller.



My brew for the day. These are brewed in Case's backyard, a delicious Oregon IPA. Had one or two....... OK, I had five.



Decided on sweet potato wedges. Used some left over rub from another cook. It was OK, but the SYD Rub would have been better.





Decided to put the toppings on the bottom.



Burgers on the Mojoe. Poor clarity on a few of these pic's. Steam didn't help.



Gave each one a 10 second smash, using parchment to reduce sticking.



All smashed.



Flip after about a minute.

This shot kind of provides a scale as far as size. These are standard American Cheese slices. The two on the right are doubles.



Potatoes done after about 30 minutes.



Plate.



Two bites in.



This is a piece of ice cream pie. My wife makes one of these every so often. It consists of Rainbow Sherbet and Neapolitan ice cream, frozen into a dome and topped with ground chocolate wafers. Delicious!!!



Smash burgers are always a fun cook. Sorry about the crappy pictures. Was in a rush today and took the pic's on Auto Mode. Too late in the day for that. Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. Thanks for looking.

It's the best IPA I've had so far Robert. The knock, at least up here, is the price. It's $1.50 more than the other offerings from Deschutes Brewery, per six pack.

Two grills or did the wedges "rest" somewhere while you smashed?

Two grills Timothy
 
Those burgers look great Cliff. No need to apologize for the pictures, after all you had 5 of those IPA's.
 
I really like the griddle surface you use to get that old hamburger joint tasting burgers. They look delicious. Nice beer too!
 
Tasty looking Smash up there!

Those fresh Squeezed aren't brewed in my backyard, they're brewed right out my office window!
