Straight from the USA, the smash burger trend has been making its way onto Parisian streets, shops and restaurants for some time now. A street food marvel, the smash burger consists of a patty of meat 'smashed' on a hot plancha to make it thin and crispy - while retaining its juiciness, flavor and softness, mind you!
The original recipe is rather simplistic, and this naughty patty, delicately slipped into an airy potato bun, is generally accompanied by a lot of melting, stringy cheddar, pickles to bring a little acidity to the whole, sometimes a leaf of lettuce, and that's it. After all, that's not the point of this burger.
