Step 1
Mix pork, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Shape into 4 patties, each about 0.75 inches thick and 3 inches wide.
Step 3
Start fries on a sheet pan at 425°F. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~60 seconds.
Step 4
Pan-fry patties 4 minutes per side without moving — they should be golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Check fries at the 12-minute mark and shake the pan, then return to oven for final 8 minutes until golden.
Step 6
Plate patties, fries, and a handful of fresh arugula alongside warm ajvar for dipping.
