Instructions
In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated onion, egg, kosher salt, and black pepper. Add ground beef and gently mix until just combined. Shape into four oval patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for about 2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the patties and set them aside.
Cover the potatoes and garlic with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain well, return to the warm pot, add milk and sour cream, and mash until smooth.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté sliced mushrooms for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute. Gradually stir in beef broth, bring to a simmer, and return the patties to the skillet. Simmer for 5–6 minutes, until the gravy thickens and the beef patties reach 160°F (71°C).
Serve the patties with mushroom gravy over the garlic mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy.
