Preparation Steps:

1. Prepare the Patties:
   Begin by placing the ground beef into a mixing bowl. Drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the meat and combine it well. Shape the meat into patties weighing approximately 180g each. Repeat the process to form all the patties, arranging them on a plate. Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the patties to set.

2. Prepare the Potatoes:
   While the patties chill, wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them. Using a mandoline, slice them into very thin discs, approximately 1-2mm thick. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to achieve thin slices. Submerge the potato slices in cold water and leave them to soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Once done, drain and set them aside at room temperature.

3. Prepare the Salsa Verde:
   Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot with cold water, bring it to a boil, and once boiling, cook for 9 minutes. Remove the eggs and rinse them under cold water to cool. Peel the eggs and discard the whites, keeping the yolks. Pass the yolks through a fine-mesh sieve to create a smooth, dense paste.

   In a separate bowl, soak the stale bread crumbs in the white wine vinegar for about 10 minutes until softened. While the bread soaks, finely chop the salted capers, anchovy fillet, and garlic clove. Mash them into a paste and stir in the chopped parsley. Combine the paste with the egg yolk paste and the soaked bread crumbs. This mixture will be the base of your salsa verde.

4. Cook the Potatoes:
   Once the potatoes are ready, drain and pat them dry. Heat some extra virgin olive oil in a skillet and sauté the potato slices over medium heat, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and crispy, then set them aside.

5. Assemble the Burger:
   While the potatoes are cooking, slice the Toma piemontese cheese into 4 thin slices. Heat a bit of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove the patties from the fridge, remove the plastic wrap, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes per side, then add a splash of water to the pan and place the cheese slices on top of each patty. Cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, making the burger tender and juicy.

6. Assemble the Hamburger:
   Slice the hamburger buns in half. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a layer of salsa verde. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by more salsa verde. Finally, top the burger with crispy potato slices.

7. Serving:
   Serve your Piedmontese-style hamburger with a side of crispy rosemary potatoes, a true Italian treat that brings depth and flavor to your burger. Enjoy!

Tips for a Perfect Piedmontese Hamburger:

• For extra flavor, grill the buns lightly before assembling your burger.
• Use fresh, high-quality beef to enhance the taste of the patty.
• Customize the salsa verde with additional herbs like basil or tarragon for a unique twist.
• For extra crunch, try adding a few extra crispy potato slices on top of the burger.
