Step 1:
Adjust oven rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Halve brioche buns. Halve, peel, and thinly slice red onion. Cut yukon gold potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges.

Meanwhile, toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of vegetable oil, half the fry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack, flipping halfway through, until browned and tender ~{20%minutes}.

Step 4:
Pat chicken cutlets dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of vegetable oil in the same pan. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through ~{5%minutes} per side. Evenly sprinkle chicken with monterey jack cheese. Cover pan until cheese has melted ~{1%minute}. Turn off heat; remove chicken and set aside. Wipe out pan.

Step 5:
Melt butter in the same pan over medium heat. Add brioche buns cut sides down and toast until golden ~{1%minute}. In a second small bowl, combine sour cream and remaining fry seasoning; season with salt and pepper.

Step 6:
Spread sauce onto bun bottoms, then top with chicken and caramelized onion. Divide sandwiches and potatoes between plates. Serve with remaining sauce on the side for dipping.
