You Can Buy Your Favorite Burger Chain’s Buns For Less Than $4 At Your Grocery Store

Finding that perfect bun to put your burger or slider in between can be a search on its own. You need a bun that can hold up against your favorite ingredients and condiments and won’t get soggy, but you also want it to be soft enough for that perfect compact bite where your bun won’t fall apart on you.

Burger chains like Shake Shack know the importance of the perfect bun that’ll cradle their custom Pat LaFrieda burger blend without becoming a big plate of mush, which is why they turn to Martin’s potato rolls. Pillowy, savory and sweet, these buns hold their own against all of your burgers for just $3.48 a bag at any large retailer or your local grocery store.

Martin’s is like the Kleenex of the potato roll world. They’re made with high-fiber wheat flour, potato starch, milk, sugar and a blend of oils and butter with turmeric for its signature golden color. What started out of a tiny garage is now a full-fledged bun-making operation. Martin’s potato rolls have been a Shake Shack staple since its very first location opened in New York City’s Madison Square Park in 2004.

Aside from being Shake Shack’s go-to, Martin’s potato rolls come in clutch for chefs and restaurants around the country and the world. They’re basically like a cozy sweater for your burger, slider or sandwich. You can even toast them to add a little extra texture to your burger.
