Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Cut @potatoes{4%pieces} into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss potatoes on a #baking sheet{} with a large drizzle of @olive oil{1%tbsp}. Season with @salt{1%tsp}, @black pepper{1%tsp}, and half the @fry seasoning{1%tbsp}. Roast on top rack until golden brown and crispy ~{20-25%minutes}.

Meanwhile, peel @red onion{1%unit} and cut into ½-inch-thick rounds. Slice @tomato{2%pieces} into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Halve @lime{1%unit}. Halve @brioche buns{4%pieces}.

Place onion on one side of a second #baking sheet{}; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on middle rack for ~{10%minutes}, then remove sheet from oven. Place @bacon{8%strips} on empty side; sprinkle with @brown sugar{1%tbsp}, pepper, and a pinch of @chipotle powder{1%tsp}. Return to oven until bacon is caramelized and onion is lightly charred ~{12-15%minutes}.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @mayonnaise{2%tbsp}, @ketchup{2%tbsp}, and half the @mustard seeds{1%tsp}. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in a pinch of remaining chipotle powder to taste.

Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. In a #medium bowl{}, mix @ground beef{1.5%lbs} with remaining mustard seeds and fry seasoning. Form into patties; season generously with salt and pepper. Add patties to pan and cook to desired doneness ~{3-5%minutes} per side. In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top patties with @pepper jack cheese{4%ounces}; cover pan until cheese melts.

Toast buns until golden brown ~{3-5%minutes}. Spread with a layer of sauce, then fill with patties, as much tomato and onion as you like, and bacon. In a #large bowl{}, toss together @mixed greens{4%cups}, @pepitas{2%tbsp}, and any remaining tomato and onion with a drizzle of olive oil and lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Divide burgers, salad, and potatoes between plates. Serve with remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
