Preparation
Boil the potatoes
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook, 11 to 13 minutes, until tender. Drain thoroughly; transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool.
Mise en place
While the potatoes cook, heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Reserving 2 of the largest outer leaves (double for 4 portions), roughly chop the lettuce, discarding the root end. Halve the reserved lettuce leaves crosswise. Cut off and discard the root end of the scallion; thinly slice, separating the white bottom and green tops. Pick the dill fronds off the stems; roughly chop the fronds, discarding the stems. In a medium bowl, make the creamy honey-mustard sauce by combining the mayonnaise, ½ the honey mustard and ⅓ of the apple cider vinegar; season with S&P to taste.
Prepare & cook the burger patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork and white bottom of the scallion; season with the spice blend and S&P. Gently mix to combine and divide into 2 patties of equal size (double for 4 portions). Add the patties* to the BBQ (or to a large grill pan on medium-high, drizzled with oil) and cook, 5 to 7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Top the patties with the smoked cheddar; continue to cook, 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Transfer to a plate and set aside (wipe out and reserve the grill pan, if using).
Make the salad
While the patties cook, in a large bowl, combine the remaining vinegar, honey mustard and 3 tbsp olive oil (double for 4 portions); season with S&P to taste. Add the chopped lettuce, cabbage and ½ the dill. Toss well.
Toast the buns
Add the buns to the BBQ, cut-sides down (or to the reserved grill pan on medium-high, drizzled with oil). Toast, 1 to 2 minutes, until warmed through and beginning to brown.
Make the potato salad & serve
To the bowl of potatoes, add ½ the creamy honey-mustard sauce, the remaining dill and as many of the green tops of the scallion as you’d like; season with S&P to taste and toss well. Divide the finished potato salad and bun bottoms between your plates. Top each bun bottom with a spoonful of the remaining sauce, a cooked patty, one of the reserved lettuce leaves and a bun top. Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
