- Add the remaining half of the olive oil and the onion to the skillet and cook 6 to 8 minutes until soft and golden. Move to a plate.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 loose balls. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the balls in batches and press each flat with a spatula. Season with the remaining half of the salt and the black pepper.
- Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side until well browned and the patties reach 160°F (71°C) inside.
- Divide the cabbage among 4 bowls, add the potato wedges and 2 patties each, then top with the onion, drained pickles and a spoonful of the mustard sauce.
