Meanwhile, caramelize the onions in a pan until golden and sweet. Prepare smashed baked potatoes and season to taste. Toast the burger buns and add a slice of cheese if desired.To assemble, layer the bottom bun with fresh vegetables, place the tamarind-glazed grilled chicken on top, add caramelized onions, and finish with the top bun. Serve hot with the seasoned smashed potatoes on the side.
