Servings: persons

8 ounces russet potato, peeled, shredded, and soaked in water for a few minutes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 tablespoon chopped chives
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 pound ground lamb, such as Lava Lake Lamb*
4 slices (4 oz.) sheep's-milk cheese, such as Lark's Meadow Farms*
Onion rolls, split
4 leaves butter lettuce
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 to 2 tsp. Dijon-style mustard, such as Sun Valley* Chardonnay Wine Mustard

1
Mix drained potato, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and chives in a medium bowl. Heat 1 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Drop potato mixture into pan in 4 mounds and spread to form cakes. Cook until well browned on each side, turning once, about 5 minutes total.
2
Heat grill to medium (350u00b0 to 450u00b0). Mix lamb with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper, in a large bowl until just combined (do not overmix). Divide into 4 portions and form into 1/2-in. patties with a slight depression in the center of each to help them cook evenly. Brush with remaining 1 tsp. oil.
3
Grill burgers, covered, turning once, until done the way you like, about 7 minutes for medium-rare. In last few minutes, lay a slice of cheese on each burger to melt and lay rolls on grill to toast.
4
Lay 1 lettuce leaf, then a cheeseburger, on bottom of each roll. Set potato cakes on top. Mix mayonnaise and mustard, dollop about 2 tsp. onto roll tops, and set on burgers.
