3 pounds Idaho potatoes
1/2 cup canola oil

Tuna Burgers with Pineapple-Mustard Glaze and Green Chile-Pickle Relish

http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_26334,00.html

3 cups pineapple juice
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
2 pounds fresh tuna steaks, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons chipotle pepper puree
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 rolls
Watercress
Green Chile-Pickle Relish, recipe follows

Combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons mustard, remove from the heat, and add the lime juice and white pepper. Let cool.
Combine the tuna, 2 tablespoons Dijon, chipotle pepper puree, honey, oil, and green onions in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Shape the ground tuna firmly into 8 round uniform patties about 1 1/2-inches thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes; the burgers must be very cold to hold their shape when cooking. Grill burgers for 3 minutes on each side for medium doneness, basting often with the glaze. Serve the burgers on buns with the watercress and the Green Chile-Pickle Relish.


Green-Chile Pickle Relish:
3 poblano chiles, grilled, peeled, seeded and finely diced
3 dill pickles, finely diced
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving so that flavors meld.

2 pounds ground chuck
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup best-quality mayonnaise
3 cloves roasted garlic, pureed
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
4 soft, classic hamburger buns
8 slices thinly sliced Swiss cheese
4 slices thinly sliced smoked ham
2 dill pickles, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Preheat the grill to high. Form the meat into 4 (1/4-inch thick) burgers. Season the meat with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on both sides for medium doneness. When the burgers are done, remove from the heat and reduce heat to medium-low.
Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise and roasted garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread both sides of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom portion of each bun, place the burger on top of the cheese, then top the cheese with a slice of ham and another slice of cheese, and finally, the pickle slices. Place the tops of the bun over the pickles, wrap the burgers in aluminum foil, and place them on the grill. Using a heavy pan or a brick wrapped in foil, press down on the burgers for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Lower the lid on the grill and continue grilling for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bun has become pressed and firm.
