Gourmet Beef Burgers with Sweet Potato Wedges

There is just something amazing about eating a home made juicy gormet burger and deciding exactly what delicious ingredients you are going to add, This recipe is my ultimate gourmet burger with a french twist.

As you know the french love their fresh baguettes, I don't think I will ever get over the smell of fresh bread from our local bakery. So I decided instead of a burger bun I used these mini baguettes and they worked perfectly.
