Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Start by washing and cutting the potatoes into fries.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    While the fries are cooking, divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form them into balls.

  4. 4

    Smash the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place two beef balls in the skillet and smash them down with a spatula to form thin patties. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side.

  5. 5

    Flip and Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and place slices of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly and layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and the two smashed patties on each bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the double smash burgers with fries on the side.
