Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of American cheese on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.

Burger Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 9

    Season the Fries

    Sprinkle the fries with salt while they are still hot.
