Bereiding

  1. Soak and dry the fries

    • Preheat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F).
    • Cut the potatoes into fries and soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
    • Drain and dry them very thoroughly with a kitchen towel — any moisture will steam instead of roast.
    Stap 1
  2. Bake the fries

    • Toss the dried fries with olive oil and salt.
    • Spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Bake 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy at the edges.
    Stap 2
  3. Caramelize the onions

    • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the onions and salt and cook 5–7 minutes until softened.
    • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook a further 10–20 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of water if they stick.
    • Add the sugar if using and cook until jammy and deeply golden, then set aside to cool slightly.
    Stap 3
  4. Sear the patties

    • Season the patties generously with salt and pepper.
    • Sear in a hot pan 2–3 minutes per side until just cooked through — they will finish in the oven.
    • Rest briefly and let cool slightly before building.
    Stap 4
  5. Build the Wellingtons

    • Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F) and lightly grease the insides of two small round oven-safe bowls.
    • Cut the puff pastry into roughly 18 cm squares and lay one square over each bowl.
    • Layer in this order: burger patty, cheddar square, a spoonful of burger sauce, pickle slices, caramelized onions, second burger patty, second cheddar square.
    Stap 5
  6. Wrap and seal

    • Fold the pastry corners up and over the stack.
    • Pinch tightly at every seam — any weak point will open during baking.
    • Invert each bowl to release the wrapped Wellington onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down.
    Stap 6
  7. Brush and top

    • Brush the pastry generously all over with egg wash.
    • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and flaky salt.
    Stap 7
  8. Bake

    • Bake at 175 °C (350 °F) for 30–35 minutes until deep golden brown and the pastry is crisp all over.
    • If the top browns too fast, tent loosely with foil.
    • Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
    Stap 8
  9. Serve

    • Slice each Wellington in half.
    • Serve immediately with the crispy fries and burger sauce on the side.
