Wash and dry all produce. Cut @yukon gold potatoes{2%unit} into ½-inch thick wedges. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @yellow onion{1%unit}. Trim root end from @romaine lettuce{1%unit}, leaving bottom intact; quarter lengthwise into wedges. Dice @roma tomato{1%unit}. Toss potatoes on a #baking sheet{} with a large drizzle of @vegetable oil{1%tbsp}, salt, and pepper. Roast until tender ~{20%minutes}.

Meanwhile, heat a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @bacon{6%unit}; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy ~{8%minutes}. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat from pan. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop a few bacon slices until you have 2 tbsp; set the rest aside.

Heat pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened ~{8%minutes}. Add ¼ cup water and 1 tsp @sugar{1%tsp}. Cook until caramelized and jammy ~{2%minutes}. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer to a #small bowl{}. Wash out pan.

In a #large bowl{}, combine @ground beef{1%unit} and @bold & savory steak spice{1%tsp}; season with salt and pepper. Form into two patties, each slightly wider than a burger bun. Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook ~{4%minutes} on first side. Flip, top with @gouda cheese{2%unit}, and cook to desired doneness ~{4%minutes} more.

While patties cook, in a second #small bowl{}, combine @mayonnaise{2%tbsp} and @whole grain mustard{1%tbsp}. In a separate #small bowl{}, combine @sour cream{¼%cup} and half the @ranch spice{1%tsp}; add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Halve and toast @brioche buns{2%unit} until golden.

Fill toasted buns with patties, bacon slices, caramelized onion, and mayo-mustard sauce; divide between plates. Serve with romaine wedges to the side; top with tomato, chopped bacon, and creamy herb dressing. Serve with potato wedges and remaining sauce for dipping.
