Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef in chunks and let it brown undisturbed for 1-2 minutes. Smash the beef into the pan with a spatula to create crispy edges. Add diced onion and cook 5-7 minutes, until beef is browned and onions are soft. Season with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning if using. - To make the sauce stir together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and Cajun seasoning until smooth.
- Assemble the bowls by starting with lettuce, then add crispy potatoes, smashed beef and onions, cheese, pickles, and a drizzle of burger sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired.
