Hawaiian Sliders With Pineapple And Sweet Onion Potato Chips Food

HAWAIIAN SLIDERS WITH PINEAPPLE AND SWEET ONION POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or large grill pan to high for about 5 minutes.
• Form the beef into four round patties, about 1/4 pound each. Season the patties generously with salt and pepper.
• Lightly oil the grates or grill pan with clean paper towels. Grill the patties and pineapple rings, brushing them with some of the teriyaki sauce. Flip the pineapple rings when grill marks form, after about 1 minute and brush with more teriyaki sauce. Grill the other side of the pineapple until grill marks form, about 1 more minute, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Grill the patties until you get nice deep char marks, about 3 minutes. Flip and brush with more teriyaki sauce, then top each patty with a cheese slice. When you hit your desired doneness, remove the patties from the grill and let rest. Toast the rolls for 10 seconds on each side then remove to a plate.
• To assemble each slider, place a bottom bun on a plate. Top with a cheese patty then a pineapple ring. Top with onion, tomato and lettuce. If you are adding ketchup, mayo or mustard, this is the time. Top with 1/4 cup of the potato chips, then gently press the top bun on it.

HAWAIIAN BEEF SLIDERS WITH PINEAPPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Place bell pepper pieces and chopped onion in the bowl of a small food processor or blender and pulse several times into small, uniform pieces. Transfer vegetables to a large mixing bowl and add garlic.
• Combine liquid smoke, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and egg in a small bowl; stir briskly to combine. Mix in bread crumbs, stirring until moistened. Add to vegetables. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients with your hands until evenly combined.
• Form ground beef mixture into twelve 3-inch patties and space evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until desired doneness is achieved, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
• While the patties are baking, prepare the pineapple slaw. Drain pineapple tidbits and reserve 1 tablespoon of the juice. Combine pineapple tidbits, shredded cabbage, and green onions in a salad bowl.
• Stir mayonnaise, rice vinegar, reserved pineapple juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl for the dressing. Toss pineapple slaw with the dressing.
• Slice Hawaiian bread rolls horizontally and place a cooked patty on each bottom half. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons pineapple slaw, and top with the other roll half. Garnish each slider with a pineapple chunk, secured with a toothpick.

GOAT CHEESE AND RED ONION SLIDERS WITH SAVORY SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Pre-Heat the oven to 400 degrees for the fries, and the BBQ (or however you are planning on cooking the burgers).
• For the fries: place the sweet potato matchsticks on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. (you can cut the fries differently, they'll just cook longer) Drizzle the olive oil over the fries, and add all the spices. Pretty much, add the amount of spice your family will like. I usually shake each bottle a few times. Use your hands to mix everything up, and make sure the fries are evenly coated. End with an even layer spread out on the foil for even cooking. Cook in oven for 20 minutes, or until soft (sweet potatoes don't get crispy like regular fries. If you go longer than 20 minutes, keep an eye on them, as they will burn easily).
• For the burgers:.
• combine all burger ingredients into a medium size bowl, and mix well. Shape into small balls that will fit on each Hawaiian roll (12). Cook/BBQ to your preferred doneness.
• For the construction:.
• Slice each roll in half. Place a small amount of yellow mustard on the bottom half, layer the meat on next, followed by small slices of the red onion. Spread the goat cheese on the top half, and place on the burger.
• **of course, you can use any kind of cheese, mustard/condiments you want to make these. This is the combo my husband and I really like.
• Enjoy!
