- 3 tablespoons grated onions

- 4 poppy seed rolls or 4 plain kaiser rolls, split and toasted

directions
- Make the masher: place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover by 1 inch with water.
- Place over high heat and bring up to a bubble.
- Add some salt and boil the potatoes until tender, about 12 minutes.
- Turn off the heat.
- Drain the potatoes and return to the pot; let them sit for a minute to dry out.
- Add the cream, the butter, and egg.
- Mash with a potato masher or fork.
- Add the chives and season with salt and pepper; continue to mash to a fairly smooth consistency.
- While the potatoes are cooking, start on the burgers—in a large bowl, combine the beef, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and the grated onion (grate it right over the bowl so the juices fall into the meat); season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
- Score the mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into patties slightly thinner at the center that at the edges.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
- Cook the burgers, flipping once, 10 minutes for medium.
- Slather the roll bottoms with mustard and top with the watercress, burgers, and a pile of mashers.
- The mashers will be the glue to hold the roll tops in place.
