Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in the lower third. Scrub potato, then halve crosswise. Cut each half into ½- inch thick planks, then slice each into ½-inch thick fries. Transfer fries to a rimmed baking sheet, then toss with 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on lower oven rack until browned and tender, about 25 minutes, flipping after 20 minutes.

Step 2

While oven fries roast, halve onion; cut one half into ¾-inch pieces to make about ¾ cup of chopped onions. Finely grate ½ teaspoon garlic; set aside 1 large garlic clove for step 3.

Step 3

Divide beef in half and shape into 2 (4-inch) patties, each about ¾-inch thick. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high. Add buns, cut side down, and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Rub toasted sides of buns with whole garlic clove.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring, until crisp and tender, 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer a medium bowl. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in skillet. Add burgers and cook until browned and medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side (or longer for desired doneness). Transfer burgers to plates.

Step 5

In a small bowl, stir to combine grated garlic and ¼ cup ketchup; season to taste with salt and pepper. Rewarm buns on oven rack, if necessary. Transfer burgers to toasted buns, then top with onions and crumble feta over each. Serve oven fries alongside with garlic ketchup for dipping. Enjoy!

Step 6

Swap oven fries for roasted root veggie fries. Cut veggies like carrots, parsnips, and jicama into ½-inch planks. Toss on baking sheet with oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast, shaking baking sheet halfway through, until browned and tender, 15–20 minutes.
