Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss the halved baby Yukon gold potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, make the chive mayo: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped chives. Set aside.
For the quick-pickled cucumber salad: In a bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and chili flakes. Add thinly sliced cucumber and red onion, toss to coat, and let sit for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In another bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with torn basil leaves and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Serve the crispy potatoes with chive mayo for dipping, the pickled cucumber salad, and the basil tomato salad alongside your burgers.
