Start with great ground beef, making two 3-ounce balls.
Season the beef balls with salt.
Thinly slice sweet Vidalia onions using a deli slicer.
Liberally add the sliced onions on top of the beef balls.
Use a stiff spatula to smash the onions and beef, tapering the edges to get crispy edges and a moist center.
Once liquid forms on top of the patties, flip them.
Add American cheese on top of the patties.
Place a Martin's Sandwich Potato Roll, bun-side down, on top of the cheese to let the beef steam soften and flavor the bun.
Optionally, add pickles.
